The pope’s 教宗 doing it, President Barack Obama’s doing it,
and celebrities   like singer Justin Bieber are   doing it ALL the time. Selfies.
College student Kaitlin Lehmann said they’re just another way her generation communicates  .溝通
Lehman said it’s important to her that she can control   the images
and decide   when and where to   post   them.
Some people think selfies   are simply narcissistic. 自我陶醉
Lehman, however, looks   at the selfie another way.
“It could be a form   of art. Van Gogh painted pictures of himself   and so did Rembrandt.”林布蘭
But there’s also a downside   to   selfies, said both Jones and Herr.
Jones: I would   not   post anything that I wouldn’t want   a potential employer to see.
Herr: When young people see   celebrities posting   pictures that emphasize   their attractiveness,
they may get the message   that's what   they should be doing,
that they should be emphasizing their own physical   qualities
over and above   all these other qualities   they may have,
and that can really affect   their self-esteem.
Herr doesn’t see selfies as a trend   that will go   away  , even as the 20-somethings get older.
