Contrary to Langes Perspective Argument:
In the article, "Want to Buy a Valentine?" Lange argues that sending a digital valentine or having someone else make a valentines day card for you is meaningless. I disagree, its the thought that counts. The fact that someone thought of you, even if it was just for a minute, means that you are special to them. For that person to go design and make an entire original valentine is simply unrealistic, no one has that kind of time. Receiving a digital valentine would bring a smile to my face, because its the thought that counts.
Questioning whether Valentines Day is Meaningful Argument:
If it was not for all the commercials and all the signs advertising valentines day, I would never remember that it was valentines day. Today, Valentines Day is a waste of money, whether you are buying an expensive necklace to prove your love to someone or a pack of valentines day cards from the store to let your child hand out at school. If valentines day is a holiday about letting the people you love know that you love them, then tell them. If it is completely necessary to give them something to prove your love, then make it have meaning. We should spend time on a unique card or on a thought out meaningful gift. I do not believe that people should have to conform to the commercialization of valentines day. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and the concept behind valentines day, but in todays world its all about the commercialization of the holiday.
