Abstract

The first section discusses the negative and positive aspects of individualism, the second indicates that individualism often emerges as narcissism. The third part presents justification for the thesis that the new media constitute good environment to satisfy narcissistic needs. It is also feasible that such media contribute to the development of narcissistic characteristics in those individuals who remain modest in reality.
