Remix Emerson's Self Reliance

Emerson's Self Reliance essay is basically pointing out that we need to be our own person and not let people control us and make us into something that we are not. We are born as an individual but are raised and taught to do things in certain ways. As you get older we begin to let society control us because we start to do things that are cool and popular and it may not be what you want to do but you do it anyways to be cool. We are also becoming more dependent on things as we grow up because we can't do things for ourselves  and the things become apart of our daily lives. Computers, phones, and t.v.'s are just a few examples of things that we depend on because we have to use them everyday.  We don't need people to control us and tell us what to do. We can live by ourselves but we can go to people for help to get advise, but in the end you have to make your own decision that is best for you. In all just make sure that you are not being controlled and be your own person and make sure that you are happy.
