Question 1

State your position on the product/tool/service/app that embodies the spirit of Millennial Generation in one or two sentences. This will serve as your thesis. (For example, "Because of its mission to use the support of large groups, where everyone contributes in small ways to bring creative projects to reality, Kickstarter is the perfect service to embody the Millennial spirit.")

My Thesis Sentence: Because YouTube allows for visual learning and acquisition of information, allows for collaboration in communications and collective entertainment and is resourceful with regard to creating environmental awareness, it embodies the spirit of the millennial generation.

Question 2

List the 3 major reasons why you support this position in the form of characteristics of Millennial Generation. You should use your three supportable, logical reasons (For example, "At its core, Millennials are a compassionate generation, and can be characterized by their desire to support each other and stand up for their beliefs.")
