Abstract
-
This paper compares contemporary personal writing with the ancient style seen in Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations. By analyzing survey data from college students and examining the ancient text, this paper explores the evolution of personal writing. The survey helps highlight how modern writing emphasizes emotional release and creativity while ancient writing focused on introspection, revealing both continuity and change in personal language use.
