Did you ever noticed how symbols created for certain reasons
were also used for other purposes as well? Groups have taken
symbols and other icons to represent themselves and let the world know who they
are by what they carry.This is how they branded themselves to be distinct.
Some symbols are used for nationality. For example, one good
example is the cloverleaf. It’s a plant but somehow it made its way to become a
symbol for Irish people. The same with a frog. The tiny green frog, the coqui, is used as well to
represent Puerto Ricans. These nationalities pride themselves on the symbols
they use on flags, shirts, accessories, and much more.
Symbols do not always represent countries and ethnic
backgrounds. It is used a lot in religion as well. For Christianity, the cross,
the fish, and dove are icons used to show the faith what they believe in. If
you saw any of these icons on their car, you would know what their believes are
based upon.
If you know your symbols well, you are intelligent
to know which ones you would wear without being misjudged by others on
what you are.
