1. Realism: Tells
things as they really are. Not much interpretation, not run through any person
filters, much like the play-by-play of a football game. Realism is the attitude or practice of
accepting a situation as it is and being prepared to deal with it accordingly.
For example: the summit was marked by a new mood of realism.
2. Romanticism: Elicits emotion and glamorizes
the events. Not romantic as in candles, soft music, and good food, but
romanticism as in patriotism, nationalism, or devotion to a cause. Romanticism is a movement in the arts and
literature that originated in the late 18th century, emphasizing inspiration,
subjectivity, and the primacy of the individual.
3. Transcendentalism: Refers to knowledge one
has that "transcends" the senses. We all know some things even though
we didn't learn it through sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell. We merely
"sense" things and this knowledge "transcends" our regular
senses. Transcendentalism is an idealistic philosophical and social movement
that developed in New England around 1836 in reaction to rationalism.
Influenced by romanticism, Platonism, and Kantian philosophy, it taught that
divinity pervades all nature and humanity, and its members help progressive
views on feminism and communal living. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David
Thoreau were central figures.
