In the film The Social Network, directed by David Fincher, the character Mark Zuckerberg is depicted as an arrogant, egocentric person who will lie and harm the people around him to get to where he wants. Zuckerberg’s ex-girlfriend Erica Albright brakes up with him and as a result of his emotions of that night, he creates a website that becomes very popular within hours of being up, and ultimately crashes the schools connection. The name Zuckerberg then becomes very popular, and the Winklevoss twins reach out to him for help to build a new innovating social networking website. This is the beginning of a giant chain reaction that each decision leads to another bigger conflict. Mark Zuckerbergs arrogance is seen throughout the entire film, but his arrogance is predominantly seen in the opening scene, when Zuckerberg is with Erica Albright, at a bar, and not listening to a word of what she is saying. He says “how do you distinguish yourself in a population of people who all got 1600 on their SAT’s?” to later acknowledge he was talking about himself (Fincher, 2010). This is the opening scene and we already know a few things about the character character: he is very smart, he knows it, and he likes to show it off. As a result of his arrogance, Zuckerberg loses his girlfriend. It might seem as if Mark Zuckerberg is a robot, but he can understand emotions.

After she moved to Silicon, Google came across her sight, she found the company’s mission really attractive and signed a contract and became the business- unit general manager in 2001 (during that time, Google was only three years old). Google soon grew during the time she was there and sooner or later, she got promoted as the vice president for global online sales and operations.

What does the good life mean to you? When I think about the good life it is rich with family and friends. My friendships have become an in importance to me as I get older. One trait of friendships that I hold above others is honor in a friendship. Honor can be defined in many different ways. Depending on your culture it plays a huge role in our perceptions of friendships. Different cultures have different viewpoints in how they define honor and the traits that accompany them. Japan has a different definition than America in terms of honor. Each culture defines honor in its own unique way. In the movie, "The Social Network" Mark and Eduardo each represent different forms of honor in American culture. In "Great mirror of male love" Korin represents the Japanese culture of honor. Sohachiro represents true Japanese honor culture by taking his own life after his lover was murdered This class has taught me alot about relationships and the importance of a true friendship with how much it can affect your life. Honor and betrayal are two components that can make or break a friendship. Honor can be defined as to regard or treat (someone) with admiration and respect. It can also mean to give special recognition to another person. Honor and betrayal affects the development of male to male friendship.

My reasoning for choosing Mark Zurkerberg may seem shallow, but I have given a great deal of thought and I chose him because he is young, an entrepreneur, and a billionaire. Mark Zuckerberg is the co-founder of the social networking site called Facebook. Even though, he was not the first person to discover the idea of social networking he was one of the first people able to implement the idea and make it into reality. I found it interesting that he was able to find people who shared the same vision as he did and pull together the resources necessary to accomplish designing a social networking site that didn’t exclude people from joining. He was able to do this all before the age of 30 years old and as of May 13, 2016 he is estimated to be worth $51.8 billion dollars and still growing (Wikipedia.com, May 13, 2016).
