Recommended: Knowing other cultures

Emerson is correct that if one wants to grow ones will have to get out of that comfort zone. If one already mastered something and not trying new things that person will never grow as a person. Exploring to new projects, to new places , and to new people will help ones grow. Just doing the same thing repeating will get exhausting and not exciting .
Having new adventures and projects can help one's point of view in life. Going to different countries and learning their history will give people a chance to learn and discover things one never knew before. Actually, just by learning their culture, music, and cuisine will help an individual grow. Being a part of a new adventure will bring up new ideas about oneself and life in the future.

    Herbert Otto, an esteemed author, once wrote, “Change and growth take place when a person has risked themselves and dares to become involved in experimenting with their own life” (Wilderdom: A Project in Natural Living & Transformation). Essentially, Otto is saying that in order to grow as a person and become educated, one must break free from what bring him or her comfort, which allows him or her to be daring and adventurous.

McCandless believes that once people find a way to break free from the default and comfortable setting that so many of us function on, are we able to discover our adventurous

  • The Pros And Cons Of Problem Posing Education

    The world offers us many things, and the only way for us to use them is by grasping the social concepts and moving forward. The rules that we are to live by are the reasons why we commit to things in specific ways. Ralph Emerson says, “The world is nothing, man is all, it is for you to dare all” (432). I believe that the world, in general, has a meaning that many people cannot see. The world is vast, and yet we are very small. We are meant to travel these vast lands and oceans to explore everything the earth has to offer. It is, in fact, one of the things that keeps us moving forward in life. The desire to advance, move forward, and do something brand new is what drives someone like me to do things undreamed of. There was once a time when

    I used strategy two by selecting details that support my intentions and omitting details that didn’t. In the first descriptions I omit some of the details that seem more negative like the muddy ground, the steep rock tails and the annoyances from other people on the trail. I try to see my experience from a negative person’s perspective, not just a negative person but, possibly just a person that is unfamiliar with their surrounding and might be slightly fearful or apprehensive to new areas. I used these detail in the next description to convey it as a more negative experience. I used strategy three and use words that frame my subject the way I want by, using words in my first description like: beautiful, interesting, all-encompassing to give

    In life we are faced with setbacks, challenges, successes, and even failures. Although in the moment these setbacks make you wanna give up, I have learned everything happens for a reason.
