Dark Romanticism Assignment 2: Dark Romanticism or Transcendentalism

I'm somewhere in the middle on this, I don't entirely agree or disagree with either, though I have some inclinations towards Dark romanticism. Humanities thoughts and intuitions may to some extent be influenced by a higher power, but they are influenced by other things as well. I can look at my mind without much introspection and state that I am not inherently good. The answer to the question of inherent goodness is fairly obvious, we have only to look at the world around us, is this the creation of an inherently good race? Dark romanticism however seems to focus somewhat strongly on the negative, humanity is imperfect but not without potential, however low the probability of its fulfillment may seem at times.
