Termanistic - Burke

"Termanistic Screens" are a big part of our world as we know it. This is determining and acknowledging a persons perspective in the world. This is a fancier way for Burke to describe verbal perspectives. I feel like this theory happens to me on a regular basis. The best way to describe it would be looking at something and seeing it as it is one minute, and then looking back at it and seeing it a different way, the next minute. I think it is how all people see things differently. I also think this theory can be applied to all aspects of life. Everyone sees something in their own way and own light. Burke hit this theory right on the head. Everyone questions things as they come across them and everyone wonders why things are the way they are. This theory is hard to explain in depth without sounding repetitive but I will do my best.

Burke mentions that we use the power of language to describe things and I think this is very obvious. I think things are blatantly missed to the human eye and I believe that is why we regularly see things one way and quickly see them differently the next time. This reminds me of a movie. I have watched the movie inception countless amounts of times and every time I realize I have missed something or some detail the previous times I have watched it. This term has me interested and I plan on finding out a lot more about it. I think Burke makes good points and I believe that other theorists may have also touched on this. I think that this theory can also apply to itself. It reminds me of hyperlinking as well. One person may write about something in particular, and another may write something similar but add a hyperlink to add what someone may have missed. I think this term can go a lot deeper than anyone may think.
