Homework #5

I feel this article took on an interesting point of view on the controversial topic of Trump's presidency. Although this article is nothing particularly new among the countless other "opinion pages" on having a politically unruly president; I agree with Robert Zarotsky's sentiments regarding Trump's relavance to "Society of the Spectacle" by Guy Debord. Debord states in his book "...spectacular power can similarly deny whatever it likes, once or three times over, and change the subject, knowing full well there is no danger of any riposte.". Which I believe to be more true than ever considering Trump's multiple attempts and lack of attempts to take responsibility for his actions and know the appropriate actions to take as our new president.

5 year plan


Within the next 5 years I’m not completely sure where I’ll be in life. Ideally I’d be interning with an art therapy program; maybe even live somewhere covered in palm trees with the future “love of my life”. However currently, I’ve been focusing on attempting to achieve happiness through connections with friends, family, art, and psychology. Although life is full of all kinds of curve balls, I believe happiness is the human catalyst for motivation and dying old.
