see as the risks and potential unintended consequences of divergent messaging?

Franklin, Vanity, and the Enlightenment Turn

In his Autobiography’s opening paragraphs, Benjamin Franklin makes a sardonic celebration of what was and has long been considered by Christianity and other world religions as both a mortal sin and a serious character flaw: namely, personal vanity. Overturning thousands of years of religious common sense, Franklin informs his audience that vanity far from being a moral wrong is actually productive of a social good. Indeed, in his famously ironic manner, Franklin tells us that “it would not be quite absurd if Man were to thank God for his Vanity among the other Comforts of Life.” Why so, according to Franklin? Because, according to Franklin, some display of personal vanity “is often productive of Good to the Possessor and to others that are within his Sphere of Action” (221). Thus, per Franklin, vanity has the potential to create positive effects in the modern world.
For this discussion forum, I would like for you to think about what Franklin means here by vanity and how he promotes this “virtue” throughout his autobiography. Surely, he is not merely talking about what vanity usually denotes in modern discourse: that is, the infatuation with ones physical appearance. Franklin obviously has something else in mind. So, what do you think he means? Next, how do you think he understands the way vanity can be productive of good, not only to the possessor, but also to people “within his sphere of action?” Finally, how is Franklin’s celebration of vanity, as well as his Autobiography’s celebration of self-making and the pursuit of individual freedom, a product of Enlightenment thinking and indicative of the historical context of the Enlightenment period? Feel free to refer to Franklin’s attitude toward religion and his own ethical system of thought, which he discusses in Part II.

You will now conduct an exercise that helps you develop a critical and contextual understanding of information in primary sources!

Primary Source Analysis

Your last assignment, the critical reading analysis, helped you develop a critical and contextual understanding of information in secondary sources, and particularly their arguments and evidence. The ability to analyze information in this way is critical to research.
As you know, many researchers also use historical documents–or primary sources–to collect data or develop theories. You will now conduct an exercise that helps you develop a critical and contextual understanding of information in primary sources!
Your first step is to select a primary source from the options below, or choose a primary source of your own. The source may be from any era, but it must be a written document.

As a nod to the Black Lives Matter movement, I am encouraging students pick primary sources that relate to social problems faced by African Americans.

Frazier 1925 Psychological Factors in Negro Health
(A study on the effects of exclusion, discrimination, and violence experienced by Black people/communities in a social environment, including medical institutions, dominated by white people; CW/TW: includes quoting of inappropriate language & threats)

Conducting an analysis of the historical texts listed will likely be challenging but I urge you to take on this challenge because these each of these texts underscore important under-addressed aspects of US history. That is, they bring to light the many ways in which countless people have long understood racism to be structural, and prejudice to be unfounded and unjust. In this way, they provide a unique window into the views of their times.
NOTE: Over time, language changes. Historically terms like “freedmen,” “negroes,” and “the blacks” were used to refer to Black people and African-Americans. Today, because language has evolved, we do not use these terms anymore. Please be careful to *not* adopt the terminology of your historical document when writing your analysis, unless you are explicitly discussing these antiquated terms.

Some views contained in these papers will sound identical to what we hear and say today. Some reflect ideas and conditions that are unique to their historical context. It will be your job to discern: What is the author’s argument? What kind of views are they arguing against? What is their evidence? What political and social influence or power do they have? If they have power, how do they use it?

[Note: Some of these historical reports were secondary documents in their own time. That is, they were produced by experts who collected primary data elsewhere and then wrote their conclusions to share with the public. This is different than, for instance, a diary or letter, which are also common examples of primary sources. Nevertheless, many social scientists today (myself included) look at these kinds of historical reports as primary sources when we want to analyze how scientists viewed problems and offered solutions in their day. For that reason, I offer them to you as primary sources that provide evidence of the past state of social science.]

In your responses, please be sure to include consideration of the intersectional positionality (the different identities) of the author of the primary source, to the best of your ability. That is, how do you thinks the author was influenced by their ideological, political and socioeconomic contexts/networks, and what kind of audience and impact/relevance might this primary source have had historically.
This means that you will likely need to conduct research on the author of the source. Remember: because these documents address issues pertaining to race, the race/ethnicity of the author is pertinent. Other factors like nationality, birthplace, education, etc may be pertinent too.
