American Narcissism The Myth of National Superiority The book "American Narcissism The Myth of National Superiority" by author Wilber W. Caldwell delves into the concept of narcissism and its impact on society, particularly in the United States. The author argues that the idea of American exceptionalism, or the belief that the US is inherently superior to other nations, has led to a dangerous form of national narcissism that threatens global stability and cooperation. This myth of national superiority has been perpetuated through history, from the early days of American colonization to the present day, and has contributed to a sense of entitlement and a lack of accountability among Americans. The author begins by exploring the origins of this myth and how it has evolved over time. They examine the role of media and education in reinforcing this narrative, as well as the consequences of perpetuating it. The book also delves into the psychological effects of narcissism on individuals and societies, including the tendency towards self-absorption, grandiosity, and a lack of empathy for others. One of the key arguments made in the book is that this myth of national superiority has led to a disconnect between Americans and the rest of the world. The author suggests that this disconnect has fueled xenophobia, isolationism, and a general disregard for international cooperation and diplomacy. Furthermore, the book argues that this mindset has hindered the ability of Americans to understand and address pressing global issues such as climate change, economic inequality, and political polarization. To combat this issue, the author proposes a shift in perspective that prioritizes collaboration and mutual understanding between nations.
Американский нарциссизм Миф о национальном превосходстве Книга «Американский нарциссизм Миф о национальном превосходстве» автора Уилбера В. Колдуэлла углубляется в концепцию нарциссизма и его влияние на общество, особенно в Соединенных Штатах. Автор утверждает, что идея американской исключительности или вера в то, что США по своей природе превосходят другие нации, привела к опасной форме национального нарциссизма, который угрожает глобальной стабильности и сотрудничеству. Этот миф о национальном превосходстве был увековечен в истории, начиная с первых дней американской колонизации и до наших дней, и способствовал чувству права и отсутствию ответственности среди американцев. Автор начинает с исследования истоков этого мифа и того, как он развивался с течением времени. Они изучают роль средств массовой информации и образования в укреплении этого повествования, а также последствия его увековечивания. Книга также углубляется в психологические эффекты нарциссизма на отдельных людей и общества, включая тенденцию к самоусваиванию, грандиозность и отсутствие эмпатии к другим. Один из ключевых аргументов, приведенных в книге, заключается в том, что этот миф о национальном превосходстве привел к разрыву между американцами и остальным миром. Автор предполагает, что этот разрыв вызвал ксенофобию, изоляционизм и общее пренебрежение к международному сотрудничеству и дипломатии. Кроме того, в книге утверждается, что такое мышление препятствует способности американцев понимать и решать насущные глобальные проблемы, такие как изменение климата, экономическое неравенство и политическая поляризация. Для борьбы с этим вопросом автор предлагает сдвиг в перспективе, который ставит во главу угла сотрудничество и взаимопонимание между нациями.
American Narcisismo Il mito della supremazia nazionale «American Narcisismo Mito della Supremazia Nazionale» di Wilber W. Caldwell approfondisce il concetto di narcisismo e la sua influenza sulla società, soprattutto negli Stati Uniti. L'autore sostiene che l'idea dell'esclusività americana o la convinzione che gli Stati Uniti siano per loro natura superiori alle altre nazioni hanno portato a una pericolosa forma di narcisismo nazionale che minaccia la stabilità e la cooperazione globale. Questo mito della supremazia nazionale è stato immortalato nella storia, dai primi giorni della colonizzazione americana fino ad oggi, e ha contribuito al senso di diritto e alla mancanza di responsabilità tra gli americani. L'autore inizia esplorando le origini di questo mito e come si è evoluto nel corso del tempo. Stanno studiando il ruolo dei media e dell'istruzione nel rafforzare questa narrazione e le conseguenze della sua perpetuazione. Il libro approfondisce anche gli effetti psicologici del narcisismo su individui e società, inclusa la tendenza all'autosospensione, la grandezza e la mancanza di empatia verso gli altri. Uno degli argomenti chiave citati nel libro è che questo mito della supremazia nazionale ha portato alla rottura tra gli americani e il resto del mondo. L'autore suggerisce che questo divario abbia causato xenofobia, isolazionismo e generale disprezzo della cooperazione internazionale e della diplomazia. Inoltre, il libro sostiene che tale pensiero ostacola la capacità degli americani di comprendere e affrontare le sfide globali urgenti, come i cambiamenti climatici, le disuguaglianze economiche e la polarizzazione politica. Per affrontare la questione, l'autore propone un cambiamento di prospettiva che pone al centro la cooperazione e la comprensione tra le nazioni.
