When taking selfies in Trinidad, it's what's on the outside that matters

trinidad selfie

This article focuses on how 'selfies' have officially become worldwide.  This article debates on whether social media causes their users to create an unusual self-obsession for themselves. The study that took place in Trinidad shows that Caribbeans are more interested in what is visible on the surface rather than whats actually buried inside. This could connote that Caribbeans are more interested in how they look in 'selfies' rather than how someone is actually inside.   “What you see is what you get” is what someone that was interviewed said. This shows why Carribeans are most likely to be trying to look nice in pictures rather than looking nice in real life.

My opinion: 
Personally, I feel like 'selfies' have become a worldwide issues, where it seems like people are wasting too much time taking selfies rather than keeping themselves busy with more beneficial things. A lot of people have done many research to why selfies have become an issue.  Many researcher claim that to due to the increase of social media, social media users feel the need to be taking 'selfies' that will satisfy their 'followers' or 'friends.'
