3. Do you think grandiose narcissism is generally a good or bad trait in individuals? Why or why not?
4. Can you think of any celebrities or public figures who seem narcissistic? Provide examples that make you think that. Do you think their narcissism hurts their popularity or actually helps them to remain popular?
5. How have you seen narcissism play out in the social media platforms you use? You may want to consider people you know in real life and how they might behave narcissistically online.
