With drops of Jupiter in her hair
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time a to change"

-Drops of Jupiter, Train

These lines of the song talk about the importance of nature and the power it can provide to humans. The end explains that you can still believe in your own thoughts even after living with other peoples influences.

By Philip F. Gura

This article talks about how the philosophy of Transcendentalism formed. It began as a debate between religion where one group of the debate split off forming Transcendentalism. Gura explained what they advocated for and how the movement started to die down as America approached its Civil War.]]> 2019-01-29 02:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/325220063 Emerson 1 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/325221618 This quotes says that you should not rely on others advice and instead do it yourself and see what you think and learn about a certain situation. In other words, being self reliant will lead yourself in a better direction as you are true to yourself and you do not need to rely on others as you never know when help is not available. ]]> 2019-01-29 02:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/325221618 Image 1 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/325223756 This picture shows that nature is an essential part of everything in the world. The trees surrounding the globe shows that nature is the basis of all life on Earth and without it, we would not survive. It also shows that nature is encompassing to humans. ]]> 2019-01-29 02:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/325223756 Image 2 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/326968725 The pink flower in the picture presents a key transcendentalist idea of nonconformity and free thought. This flower decides to go against mainstream thought, and not conform to the ways of the majority of the flowers. It thinks for itself and does what it wants to do, not what the others are doing.]]> 2019-02-02 16:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/326968725 Image 3 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/326994850 A person's hand is extended, with their finger representing a key which is heading towards a lock. The message is that each person has the tools necessary to open themselves up and find themselves. No one else can do that for them which represents the transcendental idea of self reliance.]]> 2019-02-02 21:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/326994850 Emerson 2 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327009825 This is the perfect example of independence. By being the person you decide to be, you are ignoring other peoples influences which lets you live life your way. Transcendentalist philosophy shows that taking care of yourself first is better for you than taking care of others before yourself which relates to the quote where living life your way will help you take care of yourself first.]]> 2019-02-03 02:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327009825 Song 2 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327011448 "Get up, stand up: 
stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: 
don't give up the fight!"

- Get up, Stand Up ,Bob Marley

This song embodies the transcendentalist theme of standing up for your rights, especially if something seems unjust and not fair.

- Don't Kick The Chair, Dia Frampton ft. Kid Cudi

This song relates with the transcendentalist ideology that you can do anything you put your mind to, and don't need to depend on others. This song promotes believing in yourself and not letting the pressure of society get to you or change you. The lyrics above show the times the singer is feeling the pressure and influence of others and need to decompress by living simpler and independently

In this podcast, Gura explains that transcendentalism is not necessarily a philosophical belief, by almost a form of energy. He starts by giving a brief history of transcendentalism and later shows and analyzes  transcendentalist ideas shown during the 2008 presidential election.]]> 2019-02-03 03:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327013259 Video omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327124082 LITERATURE - Ralph Waldo Emerson

This video explains the basics of transcendental philosophy and its ideas. It starts by showing why independence and self reliance benefits yourself in the long term as it makes you more prepared for times you are by yourself. The easiest way to become self reliant tends to be going to the woods.

He shows nonconformity and difference which is what allows people to see things from a different perspective. Society needs people who are different from each other, not following others, which allows you to reach new goals. Hearing from a different drum just means learning things from a new perspective.]]> 2019-02-03 23:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327124588 Thoreau 2 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327125349 This shows that the majority of people follow mainstream ideas which is ruining society. Even though technology is getting better, people are countering this by not following their true self's which creates an over reliance on material goods. Thoreau is trying to tell people that fixing themselves will do them better in the long run than producing more technology.]]> 2019-02-03 23:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327125349 Poem omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327157214 Transcendentalism
By, Lucia Perillo

When teachers are forced to teach students by a certain standard rather than what they know, students tend to get educated in the wrong direction rather than preparing you for the real world. This is exactly what happened in this poem. This student walks himself out of the classroom and goes to the woods where he learns to survive independently. The forest shows him a different perspective of the world where he lives a simple lifestyle realizing that material goods are not always necessary for yourself. This is what Thoreau has always preached about and it leads the student to a better life.]]> 2019-02-04 04:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327157214 Original 1 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327263308 I took this picture of a painting which shows a hint of transcendentalism. The elephant is shown here to be by himself exploring nature. He seems to be gathering his own food and learns to survive on his own. ]]> 2019-02-04 12:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327263308 Artic 2 omchangela12 https://padlet.com/omchangela12/uoskpms7dyqr/wish/327267875 Ralph Waldo Emerson
