It is necessary for the study of Cold War rhetoric, especially in understanding the concept of worldviews in O’Gorman’s Spirits of the Cold War, to have a firm grip on Burke’s concept of myth. Having a thorough understanding of myth as Burke defines it, makes it possible for us to create a more complex image of the prevailing ideologies and worldviews of the Cold War era. The presence of origin myths in language, such as that of the myth of the Babylonian split, implies that there is a unity prior to the division that exists in our current world. This orientation towards the myth of unity is what drives the creation of particular identifications, worldviews, and ideologies. We identify, adopt worldviews and ideologies, and create our own myths in the hopes that they will draw us towards that prior unity. “Identification is compensatory to division,” and it inherently lies within symbol systems (A Rhetoric of Motives, 22). Identification’s relation to division means that a prior unity does not and cannot exist, because all human beings use and misuse symbol systems. There is no way to separate ourselves from identification or myth. No matter how hard anyone will try, it is not possible for cooperation or any semblance of present unity to reach all the way to the mythical prior unity that is the goal of all human cooperation. In A Rhetoric of Motives, Burke describes war as the “ultimate disease of cooperation” (22). He states “you will understand war much better if you…

So, they went back inside and sat there until they were called about 40 minutes later. By then, one of the towers had fallen and they knew that this was terrorism. When they got in the helicopter, my dad started putting in the address of where they were going. When he looked outside, he stopped putting in the address; they did not need it because they could see the thick, black smoke from the Pentagon. “There was not a cloud in the sky, not an airplane anywhere.” He said that this was unusual…

The iconic symbol of Brophy, standing in the shade, could be felt more as an emotion rather than an icon. The course material used to create the mascot formed miniature canyons and mountains that, when touched, gave off a familiar touch. The detailed muscle tone and reared hooves of the stallion assisted the artist in creating an aura of natural power, which radiated outwards from the fountain. Surrounding it was a triangle, holding dozens of gallons of water, creating a platform for the beast.…

She sat in the car, opened her mouth, and started to tell her grandmother everything that came to her mind, to her grandmother she never shut up. To the rest of the world, she might as well never opened up to begin with. The drastic changes in her life gave her issues that she had to overcome. Adoption changed my outlook on life; it placed some obstacles in my life that would hold me back for a long period of my life. My life was so changed by adoption that I gained some problems in my life…

While on the other hand the agency might not have the proper resources to offer them to get to their visits and programs, so without those being completed, the…

Her nearsighted thinking was to have Amanda moved to a Christian family home (she had better chances of winning the lottery). Well, in life you need to be very careful of what you wish for. She taught AJ how to misbehave, to be rebellious, and to call the police making accusations on her caregiver. The foster mother had no other choice than to throw in the towel and give up Amanda. CAA tried to place Amanda into two other temporary foster homes and it didn’t work. The first had a young child and…
