In his commencement speech at Wellesley High School for the class of 2012, Mr. McCullough makes a scathing criticism of the "Me Generation," modern youth with their modern popular cultures and modern philosophies. Mr. McCullough's scathing criticism of the "Me Generation" was justified and insightful because the YOLO of young people is corrupt, Me Generation people do things so they can show off, and the Me Generation is extremely self-centered. He used statistics, common sense and simple words to describe how the "Me Generation" is corrupt, self-centered and showing off. Mr. McCullough believes that modern people are too busy celebrating their successes to realize that they are not special. McCullough's criticism is justified and insightful because the new generation's YOLO, You Only Live Once, is not a good thing. Towards the end of the speech, while explaining why people of the “Me Generation” use YOLO instead of YLOO, Mr. McCullough states: “…because you can and should live not just once, but every day of your life…rather than You Live Only Once, should be You Live Only Once… but since YLOO doesn't have the same sound, we shrug our shoulders and decide it doesn't matter..” (BBROWN). As he explains, the Me Generation tends to go with YOLO because they don't find enjoyment in being a good human being. Where a good human being helps others with the sole purpose of being helpful and helps people improve their lives, YOLO followers find no interest in being kind and helpful and instead decide to be harsh and unhelpful. He also explains that although everyone lives once, they all live once a day, once an hour, once every minute, and once every second. Mr McCullough believes that since people......at the heart of the card...are likely to improve the world if taken with a positive attitude and used as advice. The speech that Mr. McCullough delivered at the graduation ceremony of Wellesley High School in the year 2012 is justified and insightful and can be life-changing if carefully analyzed and understood completely. “Me Generation” people are self-centered; he shows off and they follow YOLO instead of YLOO. Through his justified and insightful speech, McCullough demonstrated that people cannot change the world without changing themselves for the better. His speech was justified and insightful and brings more hope for the future. Works Cited BBROWN. "Wellesley graduates said, 'You're not special.'" The Wellesley Report. Np, 5 June 2012.
