M M S pt 2

QUESTIONS: 

1. What is the difference between a sign and a symbol? 

-The difference between a sign and a symbol is that a sign is telling you something that will happen and a symbol is just telling you what something represents.

2. What are the three elements of the symbolic relationship (the "blue triangle of meaning")?

-Three elements of the symbolic relationship are thought, symbol, and a referent. 

 3. Is a word a sign or a symbol? Why?

-A symbol. A word is telling something, almost like a story or instruction. It is telling you what to do, an example could be a stop sign at the end of a street, it represents an action you must take.

 4. Describe one natural sign that you've seen in the world.

-One natural sign I've seen in the world is when you are about to puke. your mouth releases this certain liquid indicating that you are about to barf out your guts (not literally but, you know what I mean)

 5. Describe one symbol you've seen in the world. What (referent) did it stand for? How did you know what it meant?

-One symbol I have seen in this world is the way colors are expressed. Oftentimes at funerals the color black represents death and at weddings the color white represents purity.

Keeping to Yourself   Do you think giving up your “right” to your own opinions and being able to argue can eventually make the world a better place and save lives for many generations to come? Keeping your words to yourself and not expressing how you feel might just change everything. Many say they cannot put their thoughts into words, so why not say them at all? If we kept our opinions to only ourselves, there would not be any arguments, only people with different thoughts. I can just imagine a world where many people are working to improve our government, save our lives and moreover, create a safe and secure environment for our future generations, but could it be with or without arguments? Not being able to express disagreement may be okay with some people because they like to keep to themselves, others look for an a...
