The American Scholar.



Emerson's argument in "The American Scholar about American society, still holds true today.

When people's children have to go to the doctors, would they want a doctor who hates children? People would much rather have a doctor that has children so they know how kids act and they will have enough patience for them. It is only right that man should have the ability to multitask his life. People should not be scheduled to do one thing for society their whole life. We should value and enjoy our job more than work for money. Your job should not be who you are, you should define your life, not leave it to the cash. Also as a student I have learned even though I do not work or have a profession, the same thing is happening to people my age. For instance this project, kids are probably giving a half effort because they are finishing this the day it is due. So the title of student is what they are but they are not learning much or being creative about it, so they are just a student and not the Man Thinking. My peers and I need to learn but be creative and actually care about school so we are not just some kid going through school to get through.
