"Alternative Facts"

I believe this article is a perfect example of how the millennials are NOT the only generation to be very opinionated. The entire Trump staff is not only heavily opinionated, but reason there opinions to be "facts". For example, the Secretary of Press stated the the inauguration of Donald Trump was "the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration—period—both in person and around the globe.” This is a blatant lie, yet for some reason, the Trump administration continues to push the idea that this statement is true. It does not make sense to me that so many people are pushing the subject to the side, and overlooking the fact that the people who are suppose to be informing our population on the business that affects us, are focused on only presenting lies about the silliest things that none of us really care about. And to make it worse, these same people are stating that these are FACTS. How could they possibly stand there so confidently and say something like that? I do not believe our generation can be pointed at with fingers and say that the millennials are the ones that are indecisive and too opinionated when the men and women associated with this executive branch are acting younger than the age of my generation. Grow up and take care of the people of this country, not your egos.

The Quotidian Project Proposal

Create a time-lapse drawing:

I will dedicate 15 minutes of drawing a day, atleast 3 times a week. After each 15 minute segment, I will take a photograph directly above the piece. After the piece is complete, I will compress all the photos taken through the process and make them into a short time-lapse video.

My So-Called Opinions Response

Personally, I did not enjoy trudging through that article. I felt as though it was heavily opinionated and tempted to reach out to audiences with broad ideas to make the article seem relatable and overall true. I don't believe our generation, the millennials, are the only generation who are indecisive in our decisions and beliefs. I think this is a pattern seen throughout all generations; however our generation is the only one which has the ability through technology such as social media to exploit this idea of indecisiveness. Yes, our generation is extremely opinionated and saturates the internet with our own opinions, but I am convinced that the generations before us were just as indecisive as we are. The only difference is that we have easier means to communicate it to the world than they did. I felt as though this article attempted to strip away all the positive aspects of the millennial generation. My generation is the most accepting of others, whether it is race, gender, religious affiliation, politics or sexual preference. That is a powerful and wonderful accomplishment, and I don't think it is something that can be so easily looked over the way this author did in his article.
