"Alternative Facts" response

In response to the " 'Alternative facts:' The Needless Lies of the Trump Administration. Tump lies multiple times in his speeches and tries to us different variation of the term "lying" to hide is obnoxious remarks. My question is was it really necessary to lie about the amount to people who attended is inauguration or who watched it? The pictures he took pretending to write his speech was also irrelevant and I am curious to see his motive for that.

Trumps image is already compromised with the horrendous changes that he already is acting upon so why is it that he is making his self look even worse by lying about, as the article says, "minuscule," things so whats he going to lie about next?

" My So- Called Opinions" Response

When reading Zachary Fines article titled, "My So- Called Opinions" I found it to be rather divided amongst millennials and non millennials and their perspective about diversity and opinion based comments. He states his views and his idea of pluralism, meaning the recognition of differences. I find personally that millennials are more knowledgeable about todays issues and are more educated from the less educated older generations. Yes, we are engulfed in social media and cell phones and other technology but in my perspective that makes us more with todays political drama as well as with the worldly issues. Overall, millennials are usually silenced based on being younger and being overshadowed by the "wiser" older generations.

Quotidian Project

For my Quotidian project I was inspired by the artist On Kawara who would create art with a specific date on a surface. At first I was baffled at how something so simplistic could be considered art but then it let me to consider how important the date and the time truly is to our society and to our generation today. Every single day our agendas are based around setting an alarm clock in the morning or writing the date at the top of our papers or preparing an assignment due on a certain date at a certain time. These things engulf us and if we didn't have clocks or a way to document history the world would be chaos! Therefore for my Quotidian project I would like to write the date and the time on 48 different surfaces every 3 days for the next 16 weeks and in the end create a time lapse over this span of where I wrote each thing.
