Which text in the passage most likely came from a primary source?
in 2014, the word selfie was added to merriam-webster's collegiate dictionary. the word is defined as "an image of oneself taken by oneself
using a digital camera especially for posting on social networks" (merriam-webster). the word was first used in 2002, and it seems that most
social networking sites are filled with more and more selfies. many people believe that these pictures represent today's society. psychologists
think that the selfie shows that more people are narcissistic, meaning they have an intense love of themselves (peeples 67).
in an interview, one social media user stated that "many people use selfies to take quick pictures of themselves to show off to their friends. she
added that she thought it was interesting that fewer people ask strangers to take a quick picture for them anymore (pierce). many experts think
that this means people are no longer connecting to each other. in her book, how the selfie changed the world, shelly fullerton said, "when
we're too concerned with ourselves, we don't need to rely on the kindness of strangers, and this makes us more selfish" (fullerton 12).
