Relevant Video

After watching the video above from one of my favorite youtubers (check her out, she is one of my favorites!) I realized how relevant this video is for one of my classes at college. The video addresses millennials and why we shouldn't look down on our peers for saying "YOLO" or hashtagging in conversation. Margaret uses humor throughout her video as a way to elaborate what people despise about millennials. She addresses the issue of older generations hating on millennials for having a new way of speaking. She uses analogies in her video to show that other generations have changed words too and that our generation is not the first to do so. Through her narration, she talks directly to the camera just as she would if she was talking to you in person.  This allows the viewer to feel involved in her discussion. She also compares and contrast what generations dig and what she didn't get by saying she doesn't understand the appeal of Elvis just as older generations don't get YOLO. She makes the point that language has evolved and what Shakespeare wrote sounds funny but it's worth figuring out.

Margaret ends her video by addressing we shouldn't look down on our fellow peers as a call to action. She acknowledges her faults within her video, making her human, and says that this is a rant- knowing that some people may look down on her for just ranting instead of having a formatted video. Overall Margaret uses multiple strategies for arguing very effectively and makes a point very relevant to my seminar for class.
