Argue that society would be improved if more people adopted

Argue that society would be improved if more people adopted OR rejected specific principles of Transcendentalism.

es, you can choose if you want to be pro- or anti-Transcendentalism in this essay.

You will need to call upon a broad extent of your readings from the semester. Point to the specific Transcendentalist principles you want to address. Point to specific ways society would be altered by their inclusion or abandonment. Make a reasonable defense that the change would have the effect you say it will.

Please note that, as a thesis, “things would be better in some ways and worse in other ways” is a non-committal absence of an argument, and I won’t have it. Take up a position and commit to it.
