I think it is important to note that Emerson does not agree with philanthropy of an sort. We see this around line 100. This characteristic did not really come as a surprise to me. It only seems to further support his lifestyle of individualism and self-sufficiency. He doesn't believe in hand-outs because he thinks it further demeans the person's individuality.<br />We also discussed in class the question, "Is the mob mentality ok?" I think sometimes it is. I think the rational thing in certain situations is more appropriate than an individual's personal opinions. It is important to avoid extremes in any situation; individualism is not the exception to this rule in my opinion.Emily Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276179608169403940noreply@blogger.com
