this is interesting - it is an article about how narcissism is on the rise. I'm not sure I buy it, but it's fascinating. Of course they blame parenting, but I wonder if it is more complicated than that. Modernity brings with it a focus on individuation - if the self is viewed as individual and unique, as well as somewhat isolated from community, of course people are going to feel like they are "unique snowflakes."
