Book Details

In daily encounters on TV, press editorials and news reports, the only reason seeming to compel insiders is their circulation or audience. Everyone else turns a blind eye to it. Nobody cares about knowing that the higher the audience, the more links to Twitter there'll be or that the more likes on Facebook there'll be, the seeds of gratuitous violence are more effectively sown. This is called emulation or, in the psychopathology of communication, the "Werther effect". Our society is full of frustrated individuals who ascribe their own failings to the world around them and it may be the case that some marginalised people regard themselves as being rather low on the social scale and therefore choose to give themselves hero status, worthy of the newspaper front pages. Consequently, they may happen to take action by seizing a firearm in search of verification of them transforming their empty existence into stuff of legend, giving enough to take about for days, months and years to come. Such a breakthrough, from zero to hero!

Author Description

Wanda Montanelli is a media personality, journalist and writer. The various information systems through the lens of mass media are the subject of her studies and publications. A Literature graduate of the Sapienza University of Rome, she earned a Master's degree and pursued postgraduate courses in Communication, publishing articles and books on old and new methods of communication, from analysis of the Stanislavsky method to conflict management through NLP in civil mediation. She has also investigated the refined Prince Charming scams involving seduction online.
Her publications include the 1992 essay "Mal di Quiz", the 1999 environmentally-themed novel "Fasano Fortune" and the 2012 essay "Schiaffi, rogue destiny of women in politics". In 2006, she founded the Onerpo think tank, dealing with feminist issues and promoting actions to combat child marriage in collaboration with the international organisation Girls Not Bridges. Recently, her book entitled "I'm only a child" had exposed this global problem in terms of the sociocultural and economic impoverishment of countries still permitting such practices.
