I've traveled each and every highway. And more, much more than this, I did it my way” matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/324966414 “My way” is a beautiful song about living your own life your own way, without letting others push you around, so that in the end, you’re proud of the life you lived.]]> 2019-01-28 15:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/324966414 4. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/325590764 The great wave of Kanagawa is a great example of transcendental because of it’s focus on nature.

If you allow your beliefs about your own limits to hold you back, you can never reach your true potential. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/325596688 The importance of this to transcendentalism is that limiting beliefs kill the potential of the inner self]]> 2019-01-29 20:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/325596688 2. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/325604776 This illustrates the transcendental values of non-conformism.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This land is mine, this land is free, I'll do what I want but irresponsibly. It's evolution, baby!” Pearl Jam fit a lot of messages in this music video, but the ones important to Transcendentalism are ideas about non-conformity and that nature is more important than industry/human development. The scene with the person turning into the man with the tie and the scene with the father and son looking out over their factories are perfect examples of what Emerson and Thoreau hated. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327097353 2019-02-03 19:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327097353 6. “Some people care about what other people think, Worry about what they say. Let a little gossip Coming from a loose lip ruin a perfect day Sayin', blah, blah, blah, just a jacking their jaws Got a letta roll off-a my back. I don't give a dern what other people think What do ya think about that” "What do ya think about that" Is all about the transcendental idea of not caring what other's do or think and let yourself be relaxed while being different. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327102690 2019-02-03 20:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327102690 7. Soviet Non conformist art was rampant during the cold war. It focussed on the wrongness of not only soviet society, but all society, and a self made path is more important. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327104755 2019-02-03 20:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327104755 10. The blend of this mural between humans and nature is the essence of transcendentalism. The Artists of the mural were trying to communicate that as humans we need to improve our connection to nature and all living things. If we can do that we might be able to learn enough about ourselves to live better lives. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327156209 2019-02-04 03:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327156209 16. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327156668 Snap Judgement is my all time favorite podcast. It features stories from people of any background-environmentalists, FBI agents, cultists, men who had to father their children from inside a jail cell. I thought this deserved being on my Padlett because these stories awaken you to a scope of life normal people don't get to see. Expanding your boundaries and challenging your norm with new Ideas is what Transcendentalism is all about.]]> 2019-02-04 03:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327156668 9. This article discusses the power of allowing yourself to be different not only on yourself but your surroundings.

Nonconformity is not just about being different, but about Being better. Non-conforming can be an act of self-discipline to make yourself better than your environment. matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327159755 2019-02-04 04:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327159755 This is a little piece I made online including the two most Important Transcendental writers and a few of their descriptions.

Emerson 2 matthewchambers39 https://padlet.com/matthewchambers39/98oakcw8aujm/wish/327161227 Emerson's wanted people's lives to be always fresh.
