"What's the point of doing anything worthwhile if nobody's watching?"

?'Narcissism' is a word that I have encountered often in the last few years. People who study such matters describe our (Western) culture as being narcissistic.

Apparently we have become a narcissistic culture because our focus has concentrated on the self to the exclusion of "the greater good".

When I examine the list of characteristics detailed in "Narcissism": a grandiose self, foolish fantasies, craving fame, rage combined with bluff and bluster, shallowness, etc. I find that, of course, this is modern wo/man. http://it.stlawu.edu/~jwhorr32/page8.html

The media is blamed/credited with having a large hand in creating this narcissistic culture. I suspect McLuhan is being shown to be more and more prescient every day; the "Media is the Message".
