Question

Read the following, and then answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer:

I support the first answer, individuality. Everything around us will have an effect on the way we think and act! Every aspect such as morality, manners, politics, confidence etc. will be influence by society in General. Emerson talks a lot about Independence and the fact that you do not need a 3rd party to tell you what is right and what is wrong.

Explanation:

There are many things that we already do by ourselves! Some are simple like choosing to look to the left first when crossing a street and no one has a saying on the matter. Just like that, why should institutions like the church dictate what is right and what is wrong? That is exactly what Emerson argues and he explains that you have to believe in your own heart.

Answer 2

I'd have to say "individuality" because it seems like Emerson is encouraging others to be their own person, and rely on themselves only.
