“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep.”

“How womankind, who are confined to the house still more than men, stand it I do not know; but I have ground to suspect that most of them do not stand it at all.”

“Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only wrong what is against it.”

As a strong believer of peaceful justice and personal rights, I will contribute to this world by following a vocation of being apart of the legislative sphere in our country. Upon graduating college with a degree in political science, I plan to continue on into law school and obtain a license to practice law. I plan on becoming a civil legislator to advocate for personal rights and hope to later become a judge to present people with peaceful justice before the law. I believe this is my verse.

God blessed us with nature,

And we harm it with architecture.

Some try to protect it,

But it has hard to nurture.

Nature provides.

God blessed us with nature,

To be our caretaker,

Give us paper,

And materials for labor.

God blessed us with nature.

God gave us nature to survive.

It is the center of our lives.

And it keeps us alive,

But man does not let it thrive.

God gave us nature to survive.

Green movements contrive,

To try to keep nature alive,

And they attempt to revive,

So we need to let their efforts come alive,

Because God gave us nature to survive.

Meeting you at your parent’s gate

We will tell you what to do

What you have to do

To survive

Leave the rotten towns

Of your father

Leave the poisoned wells

& bloodstained streets

Enter now the sweet forest

9. Challenges of Transcendentalism Today

# data[].attributes.body
Two challenges to living out the transcendentalist tenets today are the expectations and urbanization of today’s society.

# data[].attributes.body
There are three legacies of transcendentalism, ( “to go beyond; to exist apart from the material world”), which is the legacy of environmentalism, the legacy of civil disobedience, and the legacy of free living. With the help of these legacies, transcendentalism teaches people to model themselves after nature by emphasizing its five tenets- seeking of truth, individualism and goodness of man, rejection of traditional establishment, involvement in social reform, and a return to nature and simplicity- in order to influence them to become more self reliant individuals who, in turn, are able to fully and positively contribute to society.
