"keep ya head up”
"It seems tha rain'll never let up

I try to keep my head up, and still keep from gettin wet up

You know it's funny when it rains it pours

They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor

Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is

it ain't no hope for the future

And then they wonder why we crazy...

We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setup

And even though you're fed up

Huh, ya got to keep your head up"

-"Keep Ya Head Up" by Tupac

This song supports Transcendenalism by backing up Thoreau’s belief of free thought, standing up to a higher power, and society’s effect on humans. Tupac strongly encouraged other to express their feelings of the government by peacefully protesting. Both have gone to jail for expressing their feelings towards government restrictions and laws. They were not upset due to the fact they were arrested, but simply upset because the government continued to give unfair laws. Tupac believed standing up for what you believe in will serve you true freedom. Throughout the song Tupac explain how the government is corrupted and feeding our brains with unnecessary thoughts.

"Change”
"I sit in silence and and find whenever I meditate
My fears alleviate, my tears evaporate
My faith don't deviate, ideas don't have a date
But see I'm growing and getting stronger with every breath
Bringing me closer to heaven's doors with every step”
“But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from
In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from...”
- “Change” bye J Cole
Throughout the song the artist, J Cole, expresses his view on how Changes should be made in life. He writes about the changes within are the most noticeable. It sends a message saying changed should not only be for other, but you should make changes for yourself. He also writes about quietly protesting against a higher order. He finds peace within himself by finding out who he truly is. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326403456 SONG 3 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326403606 21 Savage
"A Lot”
“Every day that I'm alive, I'ma ride with the stick
I'd rather be broke in jail than be dead and rich
Told my brothers take my breath if I turn to a snitch
But I'm 21 4L, ain't no way I'ma switch”
In the lyrics written by 21 Savage he expresses how he rather live a life incarcerated, then be dead and rich. He knows the importance of his life and how if he were to be dead not only wouldnit effect him, but it would also effect his loved ones. Being able to live a life is the greatest thing in the world and to waste it just to be dead isn’t right. Many would love to live a life or have another chance at it, but you only live life once and taking it would just be ungrateful. He sends a message to always be greatful for what you have.

The image you see means more then chains being broken. The chains represent the laws and restrictions the government hold on us to keep us from thinking for ourselves. The hands breaking apart the chain represent the moment in time were we as independent free spirited individuals find our own pursuit of happiness. It represents being able to think freely without anything holding us back. It is being able to have true freedom of ourselves and from ourselves. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326403809 IMAGE 2 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326403981 The image below show how even in darkness there is beauty. Nature till this day is full with unknown and mysterious things. It is up to us to take the time to examine every little or big element. The darkest part of nature reveals how knowing the truth might be scary, but getting to know it is truly a gift. When one becomes one with nature, become free spirited, and open minded they will understand more then they realize. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326403981 IMAGE 3 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326404273 Behind those close doors is a world where everyone depends on themselves and no one.

It makes the world around us easier to understand. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326404273 PODCAST johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326404835 In this TED TALK Robert Waldinger explains the importance of life. He tells about how freedom is an important thing you need in life in order to be happy. He tells how you should make yourself happy first, before making others happy. Living a good life does not mean having money and being famous, what makes a good life is looking beyond things that aren’t meant to look past. We should be open minded and have no restrictions. Being able to think for ourselves and do what we please should not be limited for us. We have to take advantage of the gifts we have. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326404835 ARTICLE 1 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326405139 American Transcendentalism and Analysis of Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Self-Reliance"

AMERICAN MOVEMENT

Written by: The editors of Encyclopedia Britanica

The article below explains how transcendentalism came to be. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were one of the greatest transcendentalist known. They both believed of being being able to know the true meaning of things. The deepest truth of life no one understood as long as they were being restricted. Being able to have true freedom is what matters in life.

Self reliance is important because you can’t always depend on others being there when you need them. You have to take charge and action when the time comes. Living a free spirited life, gives you the power to think on your own. Civil disobedience is not a crime. The laws restrict us from being able to truly be free. No one has true freedom. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326406530 QUOTE 1 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326406805 Voltaire
French Writer
This quote from Voltaire explains how god has given us life, but it’s up to us how we decide to live it. Being held down by laws and restrictions on what we can and can not do will hold us back from living live at its fullest and having complete freedom over ourselves. It is up to us to live our own life how we would like. We have too push past our limits and the restrictions that are holding us back from thinking and living on our own. Independence is a key factor In life. We have to learn how to live life on our own. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326406805 QUOTE 2 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407038 The quote tells how you shouldn’t wait for good moments to happen, Instead go after them. Going after for what you believe in should always be important. If you wait for what you want it could take up to years to come too you. Going through all obstacles to get what you want will be worth it at the end. Never wait for what you could make happen now. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407038 QUOTE 3 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407251 Albert Einstein
Nature is beautiful. Being able to understand it is truly a gift. Looking into the roots of nature will reveal many things about life. The deeper you go the more information you’ll discover. Being able to dissect nature and study it piece by piece uncovers the greatest secrets of life]]> 2019-01-31 18:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407251 QUOTE 4 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407466 John Muir
This quote explains how when being at peace and one with nature, one finds more then expected. Being able to see the true beauty of nature and understanding it will help you realize life is not about materialistic things. One with nature gives you the peace and wisdom you need, only if you decide to take the time for it. John Muir believes a simple a walk through nature will bring you more then you planned. He believes nature is key to all. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407466 ORIGINAL 1 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407631 The fence made by netting in the image below represents everything that is holding us back from going further. We have to ignore all laws and restrictions being brought upon us in order to live life at its fullest. Having true freedom of the mind and body will take us further then expected. Living an ordinary life with materialistic items is simply not a “good life” when there’s more deeper and meaningful things in life that are waiting to be discovered. We have to break the limits that are holding us back.]]> 2019-01-31 18:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407631 ORIGINAL 2 johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407845 The two red banners represent the guards protecting the place where you can go to think freely. The guards are trying to keep everyone out, so they won’t have the power to think on there own. It shouldn’t be like that. We shouldn’t have “guards” nor restrictions holding us back from thinking. The deeper we think things the more we will understand. The the deeper we think the more free will we be. We should have the power to do and think what we desire. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326407845 POEM johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326408134 Walt Whitman
"Song of the Open Road”
In the poem Whitman writes about the significance of self reliance and freedom. He believes he doesn’t need anything but himself. Having yourself is the only thing you should truly need. Materialistic things could make you happy, but only for a certain amount of time. Being able to be free and your true self with no limitations is true happiness. ]]> 2019-01-31 18:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/326408134 CITATIONS johangarcia0191967 https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/327491179 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-1w1k6O3EgSoqI8XljeBYurc0eV6QqJLtKNLuPkSYkE/edit]]> 2019-02-04 19:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/johangarcia0191967/6vg9oeh6v3h1/wish/327491179
