Extra notes by Patrick Wanis PhD:
People also became attached and gave away their own happiness and power to the outcome of this case; people identified with a win but didn’t get the win they were so desperately seeking. But this case also represented the conflict with new morality or lack of – a young mother who seemed more interested in being a single, carefree party girl than a loving, self-sacrificing mother. In many ways, Casey Anthony represented to many people, today’s typical young woman – the narcissist – selfish, hedonistic, self-serving, only interested in herself, amoral and no sense of responsibility, care, compassion, meaning or purpose in life other than to engage in pleasure and partying.
