Kenneth Burke emphasized the role of identification, guilt and the dramatistic pentad in communication theory
Identification The combined concepts of substance and consubstantiality
Substance the idea that we have a unifying factor, or essence, that brings us together
Consubstantiality even though we have the same essence, we all have different ways of expressing it; what makes communication possible
Guilt any tension, discomfort, sense of shame, or other unpleasant feeling that humans experience; fueled by hierarchy, perfection, and the negative
Hierarchy the social status divisions between ourselves and others that often leads to war and conquest
Perfection the ideal image that we can never achieve due to the gap between what is the case and this image
The Negative the quality of every concept pushed to its limits and judging ourselves from it
Mortification method of purging guilt through self-blame
Victimage method of purging guilt through blaming others or scapegoating
