I think that Mark Zuckerberg should definitely be considered as a role model in the business world, especially for other young adults with aspirations to enter the business field. The “Greed is Good” mentality of the eighties has its place. It is a good thing to be greedy to a certain degree in order to achieve your goals to the highest of your abilities. In today’s day and age I think that we are somewhat revolving back to that mentality with the perception that having all the money and fame is the only way to be happy.
The negative portrayal of Zuckerberg says that our culture looks down upon successful business people because of a jealousy factor. Not everyone can be successful in the business world, and they can DEFINITELY not all be as successful as Zuckerberg. I think Zuckerberg’s philanthropy was not related to the negative image of The Social Network. Any time that someone gets into the public eye, anything that they do is going to be criticized. He is getting way too much flack over all of this, when he is trying to do a good thing.
Facebook IS most certainly revolution. It has changed social networking forever. Zuckerberg’s story will live on and be an inspiration to other entrepreneurs. His story will allow them to assume a similar role of the cutthroat tactics and the do whatever it takes mentality.
