OK, so: here goes. I read a bit in a journal the other day that suggested that the transcendental theories of Emerson (and others) had no real application in today's world, that young people today had no real use for that kind of idealistic romanticism. The theory was this: we've become so comfortable with the basic artificiality of our world that any discussion of anything more real or natural seems out of place and almost ridiculous. In other words, because we operate so comfortably in our media-saturated, technologically advanced, hyper distracted world. we can't even begin to see anything real. There are so many filters that we no longer can make out the original. So I guess the question I would pose to you is this: does the idealistic Romanticism of Emerson still have a place in this world or is merely a relic of a bygone era?
p.s. that was the best cry ever and I dig the zombie baby. I think this guy might like Emerson, because I'm guessing Ralph would approve of getting pitted.
In my personal opinion i think that the Idealistic Romanticism or Emerson has slowly faded in this world. In class Mr. Harrington was talking about how when he was a kid on the weekends he would go out with his friends and just do random stuff like play "dirt clod" or find ways to amuse himself without the distractions we have today. I believe that the era before ours was more like Emersons idealistic world than our era. One of the reasons i think our era is different is because of the media and electronics. Parents are more aware of the world around them and want to keep their children safe and give less freedom. Thats why many kids play video games because they never really knew how to entertain themselves in any other way.
I believe that the Idealisitic Romanticism of Emerson should have a place in this world. Maybe not to the extreme but the essence of Romanticism. Unfortunately both adults and even children are being sucked into the world of technology and have tightly planned schedules. This leaves little time to go out into nature and explore. Also there is a lack of interest from the new generation to go out into the wilderness and do nothing. They are so ADD and have such a lack of creative sense that they need to always be doing something and they can't figure it out on their own. I would like to think that idealistic Romanticism is going to have someplace in future world but this isn't the case.
In today's world I think it is not likely at all that a person would stop living a life of today's society and go over to Emmerson's side of being natural. I agree with Mr. Harrington in that we have become really comfortable with our style of living and that it is strange to go into that deep thought of becoming natural and pure again. We feel so secure with our technology and the idea that we won't be bored, that we often forget there is life out there. Although I think that Emmerson won't have many fans in todays society, I think a lot of people could benefit from some of his theories. For example, today in class we read "Self Reliance." In "Self Reliance" Ralph talks about courage and speaking your mind. I think that people are likely to go along with this theory and live by it. However, I doubt many people would give up their laptops or cell phones to live "naturally."
I feel the Idealistic Romanticism of Emerson is almost none existence in the world we live in today. Our world today is primarily based on technology and not what it should be based on, nature. Before technology began, Emerson's Idealistic Romanticism was how the world really was. This world consisted of children playing outside trying to find something to do during the day with their friends, not texting friends or staying inside and playing video games. Technology has not only corrupted children but also adults. Adults, just like children, are seen emailing on their iPhones and Blackberrys or learning about current events from the internet or TV. In my opinion, the Idealistic Romanticism of Emerson should have a bigger role in our world today.
I agree with Kara, in our life today we depend heavily on our cell phones, computers, ipods, tv's, etc...And for us to stop relying on our technology to become more "in tune with nature" would be a slim to none chance, because we don't know anything but technology. A majority of us haven't been exposed to nature the real way, just because we drive through the forest or go camping a week out of every three years doesn't mean we're in tune with nature. To be honest in a sense i feel I'd be able to last a week in nature without technology, however I don't think it would be in the way Emmerson would want me to.To conclude my first beautiful blog entry i highly doubt we'd trade in our life to become "natural." btw its dalante :)
Romantisism of Emersion plays a very little part of our society today. As said by mortalcombat (lolz dalante), technology has taken over our lives and we can't live without it. The world as we know it doesn't even come close to what Emmerson saw the world as. For him, he saw the world in the present without technology and things in their natural beauty. Now-a-days, people see the past, present, and future all at once with the use of technology, and what does this do? It makes us worry and fear of whats happened or whats to come. This creates many filters which block our perception of the "true world" or "nature" as Emmerson would have wrote.
I agree with John a Michelle. I don’t think that it is possible to get totally away from society's influences and get to this bare state of human existence that transcendentalism conveys. This is made twice as hard by all the technology that now runs our world. For example last summer I did a lot of backpacking, and I can not tell you how many people I have seen “plugged in” listening to their iPod as they walk through the forests. It was hard for me, surrounded by nature to totally forget about everything else… as I pulled out Bel Canto to finish in camp. Even for the most hardcore nature-lovers, this is a hard habit to break. You can read countless blogs and/or tweets of people supposedly off to find themselves by hiking across the world(or something crazy like that) and I find that pretty ironic.
Like Dalante said, it would be hard for any of us to completely let go of our electronically driven lives to go into nature for even a week. It is unfortunate that nature has become something that we have to go drive and see and not live in. Emerson's ideas about connecting with nature is a great idea but seems almost impossible due to the way people rely on technology. People are so glued on their computers, cell phones, and TVs that they barely even take time out to go outside. I feel like if people actually did try to go out into nature and take their minds off of all the chaos that comes with technology, it would really benefit our society. Kids, especially today are so wrapped up in their technology that almost none of them really know what nature truly is. I believe that Emerson's idealistic romanticism should have a place in our world.
I agree with Katie that kids today have grown up so wrapped up in technology that they are now dependent on it and have barely have any idea of everything in nature. While Emerson's idea of going back to instinct and being more intwined with nature is a very good one, it seems that in todays society it would be very hard to get anyone to go out and appreciate all that nature has to offer. It's sad that, like Foster mentioned, even when people now a days do go into nature they find a way to bring technology with them whether it's a phone or an ipod. While it would be extremely hard to accomplish, I think that Emerson's idealistic romanticism should have a place in our society.
In modern society, Emerson's idea of Romanticism almost nonexistent. For kids who are growing up, there are more opportunities to entertain themselves with technology rather than going outside to find something to do. Personally, I remember my parents not letting me wander too far away from my house. But when they tell me stories of when they were growing up, they said that they were able to go ride their bikes anywhere and find things to do. Like John said earlier, this is due to the fact that parents know more of what is going on in the world because of the media and they want to "shelter" them. However, I also agree what Dalante said about even if we had the opportunity to spend a week in nature, we wouldn't experience it the way Emerson would have liked us to. I think that if I were to spend a week in the forest, I would see the nature and like being there, but I wouldn't actually become a "transparent eye" (haha) Kids that are raised in the modern era are so caught up in technology that there is no way that people could change and view nature the way that Emerson wants.
Today, Emerson's idea of Romanticism has completely diminished. His idea that we are trying to return to being a child is looked at today as silly and foolish by most people. In the essay we read in class today, "Self Reliance" Emerson explained that if his ways are compared to the devil, so be it. He said he would rather have ideas of those associated with the devil, i they came from within himself, then ideas of God that he believed were stupid and insufficient. If we all lived by Emerson's ideas, we would be listening to him, instead of ourselves. He completely contradicts himself and his essay is so ironic. I agree with kara when she says, "However, I doubt many people would give up their laptops or cell phones to live "naturally."" Although Emerson continues to contradict himself in his essays, i agree with what he is saying when he talks about having the courage to say and believe what YOU as an individual wants, not listening to someone elses ideas. i look forward to meeting a person living by Emerson's ideas. I think it would be very interesting. It would also be super cool if Mr. HArrington could have someone like that come in to class!
In my personal opinion I would have to say that although Emerson's ideas are becoming less relevant to todays youth, its not only their fault. Besides the children being sheltered by their parents as John mentioned, I think its is a wider corporate scheme. As discussed in class, most of the nature near by is being developed now. This causes children to stay inside and become addicted to video games and television. When children see the latest game, they beg their parents to buy it for them. When those parents see the children inside all day playing the game, they urge the kids to go outside. Because most of the nature close by is being developed, they send their kid to a pricey far off nature camp. Every step of this way is creating revenue for some large corporation.
I think Emerson's idea of Romanticism is forever nonexistent. Like Kara mentioned, this is because very few people would be interested in giving up their computers or phones to "become one with nature". The idea of being in a calm and quiet environment for a short period of time would ironically send many of us into fits of anxiety. When there is a power blackout, i constantly find myself checking to see if the TV is back on, even if i wasn't watching it to begin with. And when the TV isn't working, i go straight to the laptop or ipod. It's sad to admit but i hadn't even considered sitting down and playing a card game with my family or going outside to do something constrictive with my time on a perfectly sunny day. It's almost like a life without constant means of communication or technological distraction would have us all result in mental breakdowns. I'm sure there are many people, kids and adults, who would begin going through withdrawals once their crackberry was taken away from them. It's sad because people have become so detached from person to person communication but it's enjoyable enough that we keep it around and continue to use our electronics. If people really felt as if there were serious problems in society because of how detached we are to nature, then i feel like we would be separating ourselves from the phones and ipads, but we aren't. I think that we understand there is more in the world besides technology, we just don't care enough to explore it. Technology is what's exciting now, and we rely on it to keep us entertained rather than coming up with something ourselves. Sorry Emerson, but it aint hapnan' !
Also i agree with Ryan that parents are being enablers, but if a child was truly interested in going outside to play then that would happen on it's own. When i ask friends what they did over the weekend, i don't expect to hear them say they built a tree house and then camped out all weekend. As lame as it sounds, they would be more likely to say they played a Madden tournament all weekend and then their "outdoor" activity was going to a Padres or Chargers game. Or going to the mall and the movies.
I agree with "mortalcombat66" when he says that people in this era, would never trade their computers and ipods for nature. I feel that Emerson is calling us to do this though. even though there were no computers in the 1800's, there were other things, like cars and books, that drove poeple away from nature. I think Emerson is telling us to take the time to walk somewhere, or at least look out the window when you drive past nature. I feel like Emerson is calling us to be brave and say,"I don't need facebook, I can talk to people in real life. Or I don't need the internet, I can find things out on my own!"
I believe that idealistic Romanticism of Emerson should definitely have a place in today's society. Sadly due to technology it doesn't. In Emerson's writing, he says that adults should act like kids, but as both Ryans said, kids aren't what they used to be. Kids today aren't easily amused by nature because they are corrupted by technology just as easily as adults are. As a kid, I know I much rather would play some MarioKart on Nintendo 64, then go outside and watch nature. As time passes, children are getting more and more addicted to technology and getting further away from Emerson's beliefs.
i have to agree with john that Idealistic Romanticism that Emerson wrote about has slowly faded in this world. I believe that there are two main reasons for this. one is that there are hardly any more open, natural, unplanned spaces and where ever there is one it is not likely to be near many homes. this would cause kids to look inside their homes for play things. secondly most children today have parents who overly structure their child's day, leaving them only with their "30 min of play time" which ,due to the lack of natural places, means 30 minutes of playing some sort of computer or video game. because of both of these factors the children of today will not know what they are missing and they are not likely to look back and find out what it was. and i think we should do a no technology day for no homework
I completely agree with Zach when he says that Emerson's idealistic Romanticism should definitely have a place in modern society. I also agree with pretty much everyone that advancements in technology have greatly diminished the application of Ralph's beliefs in daily life by most of us. However, I do actually believe that it is possible to still get in tune with nature in the modern world. It definitely is much more difficult to accomplish with all of the technology and lack of natural spaces (as nick said). However, to some extent, I think we all have the ability to leave our artificial, technology-filled lives behind, for a certain amount of time, to get in tune with nature on perhaps a nice trip to Alaska. Now I say certain amount of time because as Malea and others have stated, we all have become so attached to our technology that I do not think anyone could stay sane out in the wilderness their entire life without any access to technology.
I agree with nick that the Romanticism Emerson wrote about is fading in this day and age. Nowadays everything is so busy, people rarely find time to just stop what they are doing, and enjoy the world around them. People often forget about what is happening at the present moment, because the are worried about what will happening he future. The recent boom in technology has also disconnected people from the present moment. Too often i see people staring at the 2 inch screen of their cell phone rather than notice the beautiful weather and scenery all around them.

ReplyDeleteMaybe tomorrow we should have a "No Technology Day." Leave cell phones in a box in my classroom. I'd cancel homework for THAT.
