Interesting link, that first one. I hope it accounts for why one person in my language class keeps embarrassing everyone with her insecure, attention-grabbing outbursts. As a high-powered finance exec, she has the most social capital of anyone in the room, too. Sigh.

I found the article as a whole disturbing, alternately nodding my head and arguing with it.
