In his essay, “#Me: Narcissism and the Scourge of the Selfie,” he explains that while social media platforms such as Instagram may seem to just encourage narcissism, in fact they may be helping to improve the self-image of it’s user. This is an effect from the increased exposure to less professionally constructed images compared to those we normally run into in popular media and advertising. From my own personal experience with social media I can agree with this claim. While some images on social media can still be edited or distorted, it is rarely to the same degree as professional advertisements. In addition, the types of people

Her reply was met with a soft, but powerful beat that surrounded her words ‘I Ain’t Gon’ Do It’. As the clip continued on, the young child proceeded to dance with glee and created one of the most adorable images that I have seen on the Internet this year.
