ON SELF-RELIANCE PART 3

• "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." 
• Its not being a jerk its being yourself and that's what people discriminate
•  Ethos: "They do not seem to me to be such; but if I am the Devil's child, I will live then from the devil."
• Don't act like you're good if you're not good.
• When something is good then call it good but when something isn't then don't because giving it a good definition gives the word no value. 
• Don't give charity to make yourself look good
• Don't tolerate people who are rude, racist, or anything. And then when they go off to do something good (give money to charity) then that's bs and people shouldn't tolerate that. 
• Doing something good doesn't make up for all the bad that you already did. 
• "Virtues are, in the popular estimate, rather the exception than the rule"

What someone says something isn't what they do but its what they are.

If you act like someone that someone else wants you to be, it diminishes you from being your true self because you put to much effort into being that and not yourself. 

ON SELF-RELIANCE PART 2

• you don't know what you can do until you try
• we feel at our best when we put in our best
• young people are non caring- every teenager is what Emerson is describing, they don't care about what they don't care about
• when emerson talks about this is that children and baby ad rude ppl who don't have a filter is just rude people being themselves and that's ok to be urself
• if we don't express ourselves our voices turn faint and unaudible

ON SELF-RELIANCE PART4

• When we learn a new idea we actually physically change our minds. 
• Don't stick to your bad idea if you got a better one its good to be open minded it doesn't mean you're just changing your mind
• "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"
• "To be great is to be misunderstood"-people weren't understood of their ideas when they first had them
• Have your ideas and if they aren't the same its okay and if people don't understand them right now its okay
• Virtue or vice is seen everyday, the things you do wont cover it up 
• All day everyday we create a riffle effect 

When Emerson said that its not being rude and instead its actually being real that caught my attention a lot because it is true. Although it isn't always right for people to just speak their mind whenever. If you have a great idea you should share it and not wait for someone with the same idea to get that credit. 

TODAYS ARGUMENT

Today in my group we had an argument. I wanted to be informative so I used logos. The topic of our argument was about discrimination against Muslims due to terrorist attacks. The reason I chose logos was to better inform my group about the events going on with terrorist right now. This helped in our argument so that they could better know about the situation in order to take on a perspective.

RHETORICAL STRATEGIES PART 1

Ethos: The author, Johannes is a philosopher who works with engineers in "Stanfords center for automotive research"
Diana Divecha is a credible source because she has a Ph.D in psychology & she's an assistant clinical professor at Yale child study center.

 Pathos: Diana Divecha "school with a positive climate faster healthy development, while negative school climate is associated with a higher rates of student bullying, aggression, victimization and feeling unsafe"

Logos: A study of 36 first graders showed that when teachers were more emotionally supporter of students, children were less aggressive & had greater behavior, self control, compared to the use of behavior management which did not improve student self control.

Kairos: "So a schools specific issues can be addressed, and the flavor of local cultures retained. School climate assessments can be completed periodically to track the impact of improvements."- Diana Divecha

First Impression of "On Self-Reliance"

"Ne te quasiverias estra" -Don't seek outside yourself

"Our acts our angels are, or good or ill.." -we are defined by our actions

Eminent- well known

Imitation is suicide- if you imitate someone else then you die

• You take notice when someone says something original despite what they say. 
• Its the belief in you that's worth celebrating and that's genius its not the actual thought itself.
• Because we think less of ourselves we think no one else will care

First impression: I think Emerson understood more of what people were thinking in their own minds. He put into words what no one else said but what everyone else felt. He was better able to capture our (the readers) attention by adding a latin phrase which many people can associate with and what brings curiosity to the reader on what it means. Many people have gone through what Emerson has said about thinking less of ourselves and then that having us have a discourage within ourselves and it stops us from saying or doing something we actually were going to in the first place and when someone else has the same idea its just like wow really? You yourself and your own discouragement is what stopped you from that.
