This shift in values is particularly evident in the quality of education, and man{\textquoteright}s subsequent relation towards work as a result. Schools have become social institutions in which learners spend their time in the role of served clients. The teacher is therefore assigned the social role of the servant, in which he is to primarily satisfy the pupil in his personal needs. This kind of relationship stems from the phenomenon of narcissism, which is already a cultural phenomenon. Studies of cultural narcissism are presented here, sampling relevant research of American provenience (with special focus on the USA). These studies suggest that cultural narcissism may become a global phenomenon in the future.}, keywords = {contemporary individualism, cultural narcissism, learning difficulties, narcissistic pathology, pedagogical research}, issn = {1822-7864}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/pec/19.77.489}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2019/457-1566969219.pdf}, author = {Michal Podzimek} }
