Does ââ¬ËThe American Scholarââ¬â¢ Reflect the Values of the Declaration of In
Every country today differentiates each other finished having a unique identity of which the elements are cultures, tradition and religion. Even a country like the States was once under the rule of the British. still this did not last as long as it did in India as the people fought back and won what is today called The War of Independence. During the time the British ruled various countries they had taught the people under them their ways of conducting every operation in life. In America even after the British were departed the way people lived their lives were still the way they had learned from the British. One much(prenominal) ways of conduct was vividly observable in pen literature. because began the argument that the literature in America should be written otherwise from how the British would. In 1837 Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered a speech called The American Scholar at Cambridge, Massachusetts to criticize how the Americans still kept alive what they had learned from th e British and to remind people the real American culture in every aspect of their lives. Emerson stated that every citizen in America has the right to license and to display their own culture.

The American scholar was thus a past speech that encouraged scholars since to write with freedom encouraging arguments to discover honor for any matter to be discussed.
