Abstract: My research question and paper are about how entitlement cause athletes to become perpetrators of sexual assault. My research show that entitlement is a component of narcissism and athletes possess this characterisitic often think that their needs are more important than the needs of others. I found that rape among athletes is strongly correlated with aggressive behavior and entitlement. The second part of my research question is how atheletic departments enhance this rape culture. I found that most athletes often rape more than once when they realize that there will not be any consquences because athletic departments overlook this issues. My paper shows that athletes and entitlement are highly correlated and why it is important to stop this entitlement at all costs.

Literary Blog #5

This week I am choosing to use one of my academic sources on entitlement. It is entitled The narcissism epidemic: living in the age of entitlement by Jean Twenge and Keith Campbell.

1) Visual:













2) Citation:

Twenge, Jean M., et al. The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement. New York, Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group, 13 Apr. 2010.

3) Summary: The book itself is about narcissism and how it relates to entitlement but the part that I am focusing on is exclusively on entitlement. The chapter entitled all play and no work focuses on defining entitlement and gives different examples as to how people can possess entitlement.

4) Authors:
Jean Twenge: Author of Generation Me and she has been featured in several newspapers including the New York Times and USA Today.
Keith Campbell: Author of When You Love a Man Who Loves Himself and he has been recognized for his work and research on narcissism.

5) Key Terms:
Narcissism: Having pride and believing truly in yourself.
Entitlement: the pervasive belief that one deserves special treatment, success and more material things.

6) Quotes:
1) "the pervasive belief that one deserves special treatment, success and more material things." (230)
2) "Historically, entitlement meant having a social position or a claim to ownership granted by some legitimate authority." (231)
3) "Entitlement may work for some individuals-sometimes demanding students get their grades changed even when they don't deserve it."(230).

7)Value: This source is important to my paper because it gives me a steady background and foundation as to what entitlement truly is and why people think they can possess it.
