Enough about You

Summary:
In Brian Williams's "Enough about You" he talks about how everything is always about 'me.' Americans, he says, have decided that the most important person in their lives is themselves. He continues to describe how they constantly share everything about their lives. While doing this, they expect people to be interested in what they share. Once again, they are only interested if it has to do with them. For this reason, many people aren't informed about more important things, for example, U.S. troops along the two major fronts. Finally, he finished off by showing the big picture, everyone is so busy focusing on themselves that they are missing out on the world around them.

Response:
As a teenager living in the 21st century I know that Williams is absolutely right about everything. Most of us only care about what happens in our lives. Take a look at your Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. What's on there? Probably nothing but selfies, posts about your day, and pictures of your food. Hardly anyone posts about current events.I could relate when Williams said, "Americans have decided the most important person in their lives is...them, and our culture is now built upon that idea" (473), because in all honestly, we don't log onto our social network accounts to see how everyone else is doing but to post about ourselves.
