Saussure 9/7

Semiotics, the binary, and the most important and strongest quote "All we  are is a mobile army of metaphor."  We are the creation of who we think we are, what we are told we must be, and what is imposed by society. We are always already "unstable" and "in play" because it always depends on another. The biggest construction of what we are is shown by our leaders who we expect the most from. Those  we trust and expect to defend, and do what is right. Politicians, lawyers, and advertisement leaders and workers. Derrida aand Saussure show us how we always are dependent and are constructed like fate. Simon shows us that evrything has some value , and that man and woman have a master slave relationship. The master has no priviledge of being who he is without his slaves; man is nothing without the woman. Both man and woman are tied to their opressor biologically. Simon, Saussure, and Derrida show us a form of dependence and construction.
