: '''The 'Nurturant Parent' Frame''' → Lakoff's argument that "Liberalism" is the metaphor of the "Caring Family," while "Conservatism" is the metaphor of the "Strict Father."
: '''Moral Accounting''' → The theory that we see "Morality" as "Money." If I do you a "Favor," you are "In my debt." If you "Do me wrong," you must "Pay the price."
: '''The 'Machine' Brain''' → (See Article 482). The metaphor that created AI: if the "Mind" is a "Computer," we can "Program" it.
: '''Disease as 'War' ''' → "The body 'Battles' cancer." "We need to 'Attack' the tumor." Research shows this metaphor makes patients feel "Strong," but also "Anxious" if they are "Losing the fight."
