"Where I Lived and What I Lived For" from Walden 325857 https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/195673413 "The million are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for an effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred millions to a poetic or divine life." -Henry David Thoreau ]]> 2017-10-10 15:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/195673413 1 B. "Walking" 325857 https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/195679380 "Of course it is of no use to direct our steps to the woods, if they do not carry us thither.

"Nature" 325857 https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/195682777 "The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward sense are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood." -Ralph Waldo Emerson]]> 2017-10-10 16:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/195682777 1 D.

"Self-Reliance" 325857 https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/195684827 "Men do what is called a good action, as some piece of courage or charity, much as they would pay a fine in expiation of the daily non-appearance on parade. Their works are done as apology or extenuation of their living in the world, -as invalids and the insane pay a high board" -Ralph Waldo Emerson]]> 2017-10-10 16:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/195684827 7.

Declaration of Self 325857 https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/197644813 I will strive, as each step of my life unfolds, to contribute positively and meaningfully to our  world. The way I can best enrich society is through my deep care for others, in which I want to expand upon through medical education. With a medical education, I plan to help those less fortunate, children especially, have access to proper medical treatment so they too can contribute their verse to the world. I want to help reform healthcare not only here in the United States, but in other countries where so many humans have no form of healthcare. Human beings deserve basic rights, and I plan to fight for their right to a healthy and prosperous life so that they too can contribute to our world.

Our ability to create - erased
Our ability to love - distorted
Our society becomes more and more distressed, 
Children become more and more obsessed, 
With the electronic walls imposed upon us.
When will we learn to fight back?
When will we learn to stop this oppression?
Will we ever return, to true beauty or serenity?
Never.

Our society is now entangled and intertwined, 
In a Gordian Knot of mass proportions,
It cannot be solved by one person, 
It must be solved by one society, 
Our society.
An escape to the place we built our cities upon, 
An escape to the place we destroyed for farmland,
An escape to the place we carelessly and constantly burn down,
There are multitudes of them,
In all shapes and sizes, 
But if we’re not careful,
None will be left to run to.

Modern Transcendentalism 325857 https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/197644819 The modern representation of Transcendentalism I have chosen is the song "Where is the Love" by the Black Eyed Peas. Lyrics I believe represent the transcendental tenants are: 
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

Synthesis Essay 325857 https://padlet.com/325857/salstranscendentalismproject/wish/197644835 Through nature and the tenets of transcendentalism, people are taught to become self-reliant, individual thinkers in order to aid and benefit the whole of society through everyday life endeavors.
