In the first part of the article the writer is saying that millennials have been born into "pluralism" which is described by the writer as " a cultural recognition of difference: individuals of varying race, gender, religious affiliation, politics and sexual preference, all exalted as equal." This is what he believes is keeping millennials from forming there own beliefs and instead making them choose to be politically correct. This has lead him to ask if what we are learning in the classroom is going to make it harder for us millennials to make our own judgements in the real world.
In part two he talks about how there is no such thing as a true fact there is always someones opinion or outlook on the subject they are writing or talking about. Which i believe in a sense is true, you can't just watch one news outlet without getting a little bit of their take on the subject. But some facts are simply facts. if 45,000 people were at a baseball game there were 45,000 people at the baseball game end of story. He also says that when throughly questioned many people can't stand by the phrase "I like what I like". I think that this statement is completely false because everyone is going to have their own opinion about what they like. Some people might like it for one reason while others hate it for the same reason.
In part three he continues saying that millennials are afraid to call people different or separate individuals. He concludes the article saying that millennials are "crippled by indecision and hope to one day boldly stake out our own claims, without trepidation." I feel like most millennials are just trying to find their opinions still and they are more open to change which is not a negative thing. I feel like the past generations have been so closed minded that they would never give things a chance and that is what is different about us millennials.
