Response to Digital Imaging Articles

“My So Called Opinions” Article:   From what I was understanding in the article, the author states that he feels that in today’s society millennials are forced to have this notion of people. A notion that we must be accepting to all aspects of society even if one might feel something different or be on the edge of believing what they are told they must believe is right. He also believes that adults that were born before the millennial era are not held under the certain judgment millennials are because they entered this new part of pluralism already having certain beliefs or as I have heard many people say “they were just born in a different time than us”.  I agree with this article for the most part, I think that it is true that the younger generations are held more accountable for being more accepting on issues like gender and race exct, and the older generations generally are not as accepting and they do use that as an excuse not to be held to the same adjudication. Personally I think that everyone has the right to an opinion young or old and we should not judge people just because of the era you were born in but for what you believe in.  That is the beauty of being an American that you can believe in whatever you want and not be told differently.   

“Song Dong” Article: After reading this article the most important impression I got from this was how Mr. Song ties together the current Chinese reputation of art with his own personal experiences which he displayed through the life of his mother. He did this by using a current source that could help the viewer connect the present with the past of Chinese history.  By using Zhao Xiangyuan he creates a path way into the past that allows the viewer to see the struggles that Song and his family and probably other families had at that time.  And since his mother was still alive for part of the time the exhibit was happening it really brought into context that these parts of history were not that long ago and how it affected people growing up in that kind of environment. I think it was a really nice way to honor the death of his mother and use the objects she saved in a meaningful way.
