We are increasingly a nation of self-centered brats. This is not just an opinion – sadly, there’s data to back it up. A forthcoming study in the Journal of Personality shows rates of entitlement and narcissism have been rising since the 1970s. We are in the midst of a full-blown narcissism epidemic. Jean Twenge is a San Diego State University psychologist who authored the study, and she speaks with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
