In "Excerpt from 'Civil Disobedience" Thoreau states that "If I devote myself to other

upon another man's shoulders. I must get off him first, that he may pursue his
contemplations too" (Paragraph 1). To what extent do you agree with this? What examples
can you draw on from your own experience and the world around you where people are
ensuring that they are not "sitting upon another man's shoulders?"
