Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Self-Reliance"

First of all, here are a few resources you might find helpful: various definitions of Transcendentalism, and some background information about its history.

For today, you will write a new blog post about Emerson's essay focusing on this question:

How does (and should) a person define his/her place in society? (what does Emerson mean by "society" anyhow?)

Please be sure to use a quotation from Emerson in your response.

After your initial post, please go to the two blogs above your name on the list and post a comment in response to that person's post on this topic.
