Описание: Emotions Inside Or Loss of Words. Does anyone ever stop and think what theyre about to do? How their action can affect peoples lives? I heard once or twice that your decisions are like a domino effect, one decision can affect many. Why make choices that you know you will regret? Why put people through pain? Can you actually say that you ever thought about how many people you hurt? Explain in so many words why we treat people like they dont mean anything. Many of us are the victims in cases like these.

Metaphor, as an act of human fancy, combines ideas in improbable ways to sharpen meanings of life and experience. Theoretically, this arises from an association between a sign—for example, a cattle car—and its referent, the Holocaust. These “sign-vehicles” serve as modes of semiotic transportation through conceptual space. Likewise, on-the-ground vehicles can be rich metaphors for the moral imagination. Following on this insight, Vehicles presents a collection of ethnographic essays on the metaphoric significance of vehicles in different cultures. Analyses include canoes in Papua New Guinea, pedestrians and airplanes in North America, lowriders among Mexican-Americans, and cars in contemporary China, Japan, and Eastern Europe, as well as among African-Americans in the South. Vehicles not only “carry people around,” but also “carry” how they are understood in relation to the dynamics of culture, politics and history.
