Studies reported to Evan Grossman of Men's Journal have shown that the generation of people reaching adulthood now are considered a bunch of “self-obsessed, irresponsible, and unmotivated generation of false achievers.” What could have caused this? A huge cause of this is what is known as the “self-esteem movement” according to Evan Grossman of Men’s Journal.

Admitting that as “anyone else in their twenties who is new to the work world, [he is] on a journey to find who [he] is, what [he is] passionate about and the tools [he needs] to compete.” Therefore, taking the time to think about himself will make him better capable to serve others and in that context the means of being selfish are justified by the end. In the article “Every Every Every Generation Has Been the Me Me Me Generation”, Elspeth Reeve simultaneously agrees and disagrees with Rubin’s stance by claiming that “it’s not that people born after 1980 are narcissists, it’s that young people are narcissists, and they get over themselves as they get older.” Basically, Reeve is saying Rubin is wrong because right now Millennials are selfish.

Another obvious reason for the uptick in narcissistic behavior is social media. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram act…
