In this temple: the power of space creation in Washington, D.C.

Abstract

The national landmarks in Washington, D.C., specifically the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol Building, serve a specific purpose of informing visitors on not only the basic functions they serve, but also to create a metaphysical space in order to create a citizen machine, a citizen machine, intended to create model citizens, who are learned in areas of civic matters that the designers of Washington, D.C., and important. These areas of civic education involve ideas of Manifest Destiny, service to country, the concept of a liberal democracy, and specific moments in American history that identify landmarks for progress on the world stage, or specifically in the United States of America. These metaphysical spaces inform visitors of the aforementioned areas of civic education in an effort to form a united identity for the American citizen out of a disparate group of local, regional, and cultural identities.Thesis (B.?)Honors Colleg
