Why do people post selfies like this?

So the number of likes is higher which makes them feel better about themselves.

Because some people are very selfish and egotistical and only care about themselves and no one else.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
