Emerson's Thoughts on Society

To all my die hard followers,     
     For starters, Die Hard is a great movie and an even better series. That was random. Now my response...
     Emerson believes that every man should be himself. Conformity, according to Emerson, is not the right way to go. If you conform to what everyone else does, then you are not being true to yourself, and, therefore, lose a part of your self. "The objection to conforming to usages that have become dead to you is, that it scatters your force" (23). This quote explains that when you conform to society, you are giving a part of your character. Emerson also believes that people should find their own path in life, instead of conceding to the path everyone takes. Emerson argued that how you behave affects how the rest of your life will turn out, which means that he believed strongly in the idea of karma. This relates to his idea of society, which he believes is a large group of people which agree on certain ideas and then conform to those ideals. That is why he thinks society is not a good thing. He strongly feels that people should not conform.
