please help me with this essay

This is one of the new topics of Analysis of Issue Questions.I don't understand what this topic means, please help me:

People are more effectively motivated by myths and symbols than by logic and reasons.

有点感性Vs理性的味道。

胡说几句，古人比较容易受神话的影响，所以封建王朝大多宣扬君权神授。现代人比较理性，所以某牛仔必须编造大规模杀伤武器的借口。

昏，好可怕的题目。

一点思路也没。
