In this state of affairs, "The egocentric telephone" is a script checklist of an important strategic issues accrued in the course of those years of warfare, with the objective to supply good flooring onto which step forward for destiny attacks in contrast negative affliction. even as, it truly is an try to shift the controversy on melanoma towards a extra peaceable and doubtless efficient semantic terrain, the place to mirror using better knowledge to eventually get out of that bad chaos of struggle and dying dominating our days. during this standpoint, "The egocentric mobile" turns into an get together for reflecting over our human selfishness limits and their results either on our social and average environment.
