Man Thinking

Emerson’s argument in “the American scholar” about society still hold true today.

One reason Emerson’s argument still holds true today is that man is only concern about making the most money. Inside the article it talks about how a man sticks to one talent for the rest of his life and doesn’t learn the rest of him. "a farmer only farm, and a teacher only teachs." Another reason is that it is the only way to survive. If you go the mall, or the groceries store, you need money to by clothing or food, which all humans need. We also need money to pay for our houses and the electric bill.

The second reason why that is a man doesn’t have enough education. In China, all of them focus on one thing like science, or math, and focus on that subject and get to know it really well, and then they hope that they could get a really good job. And in America you learn a little bit of everything, but never enough.My uncle didn’t go to college so he work for a auto company and last year his company closed, he didn’t have a job for almost a year, just last month he got one, but under the same subject.

  2. In the first sentence you need fix some of your grammar. Either make "man's only concern is making the most money" or "man is only concerned about making the most money" Also I had a hard time understanding you support for your opinion it jumped around a lot so I got confused.
