The process by means of which human beings arbitrarily make certain things stand for other things many be called the symbolic process.
Everywhere we turn, we see the symbolic process at work. There are (41) things men do or want to do, possess or want to possess, that have not a symbolic value.
Almost all fashionable clothes are (42) symbolic, so is food. We (43) our furniture to serve (44) visible symbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We often choose our houses (45) the basis of a feeling that it "looks well" to have a "good address." We trade perfectly good cars in for (46) models not always to get better transportation, but to give (47) to the community that we can (48) it.
Such complicated and apparently (49) behavior leads philosophers to ask over and over again, "why can’t human beings (50) simply and naturally."
