Description
This paper was presented at the: International and Interdisciplinary Conference of Human Rights, Individualism and Globalization. Sponsored by the Center for Spirituality, Ethics and Global Awareness Bethany College School of Arts and Sciences (April 10, 11, 12, 2008) Narcissism has been around for a long time, and although each generation may have expressed it differently, it is a prevailing attitude. Perhaps Thomas Goodnight, a public sphere scholar, said it best, 'In 19th Century America, the grounding of arguments made to the poor and about the poor were grounded in the private sphere' (Goodnight p.221). At that time, the public felt that the poor should help themselves and have more self-reliance. The condition of being poor was a private matter and not a shared societal matter. He writes about the creation of disagreements where matters of personal dispute can take on a public character. According to Goodnight, 'Help was cajoled from the rich only as a gesture of Christian charity' (Goodnight 221). Goodnight claims that 'Grounds of argument may be altered' (Goodnight 221).
