Selfies With A Conscience

Selfies have entirely taken over the 21^st Century largely thanks to the rapid emergence of smart phones across the globe. You can’t go five minutes walking through a populated area without seeing someone taking a selfie. In 2013, the word selfie was not only added to the Oxford Dictionary but it was also named the Word of the year. The trend had taken off. More than fifty percent of American Millennials between the ages 18-33 have at some point in their life taken a selfie.( https://www.thoughtco.com/sociology-of-selfies-3026091).

            There are dozens of reasons for why exactly the selfie has grown into such a popular trend, but the most explainable is the social aspect behind it. Often when people think they look, they open up their camera of the phone and take a selfie. It then immediately will get sent to a friend or posted online to show off their looks and perhaps make others jealous. The selfie has become so popular amongst our generation because many people view life in a competitive fashion and always find the need to show off. Whether the reason be just to display your face, or to show off an attractive desirable background, people have the need to post it to make others jealous. To take it one step further, it then becomes a competition of who can get the most likes on their posted selfie online. When people get a lower than expected amount of likes on their selfie, their morale is usually hurt and they may proceed to feel self-conscious (if they didn’t already)
