Self-empowerment

A cultural value indicative of 21st Century societies, especially amongst First World societies.

Self-empowerment promotes the individual's pleasures and comforts as the ultimate goal to life or 'key' to happiness, encouraging behavior that satisfies one's ego and bodily pleasures.

Ironically, in the long-term, this mentality is counterintuitive, as it creates a society of narcissism, self-indulgence and self-glorification.
