Wright's Realization

Wright views himself as a thinker and artist who needs to continually challenge the world so that it can slowly learn. He believes that mankind eventually learns its errors but only slowly and in a painful manner. This is why he chooses to be this thinker because he thinks he can help mankind move forward. He also wants to do this by forming the so-called bridge between him and the outside world. I believe that Wright is correct in both his assumptions that it mankind does learn slowly and that it should be thinkers job to help reform this society. I think his views are supported by the fact that many facets of history continually repeat themselves and, despite people’s best efforts, tragedy like war and internal strife continue to this day.
