Does Narcissism Cause Laziness

I feel that one of the major causes of Narcissism is being given things without earning them. For example, if you are given everything you want growing up you will begin developing narcissism. This idea of getting what you want will change your mind set to believing you deserve everything you want. This is when it becomes a problem. We go to a very affluent school where we are all given a lot of things. Im not saying im not spoiled im just simply saying the things I have worked for others have just been given. This mentality carries people all through college until they have graduated and are on thier own. By this point, they are no longer being given things and are having to work for them. Many do not know how it is to work and others just don't care. This is where laziness is paralleled with narcissism. People are so spoiled their whole lives that when it comes time for them to earn something they are unwilling to do so. My dad owns a large restaurant chain across the country and says his biggest problem is finding young people willing to work. This is scary to think about what will happen to the business world of our generation. This lazziness also carries over into school, atleast I've seen this at SMU. When your given everything you want, how can you be expected to go out day by day and earn grades. So many people, including myself fall into the trap of thinking grades should be given to us. Its hard to except a bad grade, especially if you have not experienced failure or rejection before. Narcissism turns people into robots going through the motions unwilling to go out and work for anything. I also feel that this is the reason cheating has become so prevalent. Kids are not willing to do the work themsleves so the next best thing is to use someone elses. This is a serious problem because once these kids get into the real world, they will not be able to cheat their way through it. All in all narcissism is slowly but surely leading to the destruction of our generation and society.

What The Drinking Age Should Be

We live in a country that greatly differs from all the others for many reasons. One being our laws and in particular the drinking age. Laws are made for a reason obviously but sometimes these so called reasons dont seem to make a lot of sense. For example, why is it that when you are 18 years old you are eligible to go to war, but not drink a beer? Why is it that at 18 you can elect the leaders of your country who make the laws, but can't go to a bar? These questions are on the minds of many and will remain unanswered until the law is changed. Its a proven fact that once a person turns 21 many of those people significantly drink less than before. Most teenagers whether in highschool or college find drinking alluring because it is illegal and risky. They feel empowered through this rebellion. So taking that into consideration, I feel that more 18 year olds who drink heavily would slow down once it was legal. Im not saying it should be 18 because I want everyone in college to get drunk im just saying in a reverse way it might help with our nations problem. More and more people are drinking and there does not seem to be a decline anytime soon. All in all if you can give your life for your country you should be able to raise a beer for it too.
