Question.4821 - Week 3: Discussion Board (Self-Esteem)In recent years, some researchers have proposed that narcissism levels are on the rise as evidenced by an increased sense of entitlement and unrealistic expectations in younger generation millennials; and by an overall rise in individualism and materialism in our society.The article entitled:"Is Self-Compassion the New & Improved Self-Esteem?" (Week 4 Required Resources) offers a new concept of self-esteem that follows Buddhist philosophy. This philosophy stands in direct contrast to the notion of eliminating all feelings of low self-esteem and setting perfectionistic or idealistic standards for oneself.After reading Chapter 4 in your e-Text and the article above, please discuss this new concept of self-esteem and compare it to Nathaniel Brandon's ideas about self-esteem based on self-efficacy and self-respect as described in Chapter 4 of your e-Text. **Note that in order to answer the discussion board correctly and efficiently it is important to have gone thru all of the weeks work in the module, readings, discussion notes, and etc... before answering discussion board.
