26. SYMBOL,
taken from Wikipedia
• A symbol is an object that
represents, stands for, or
suggests an idea, belief, action,
or material entity.
• Symbols take the form of words,
sounds, gestures, or visual
images and are used to convey
ideas and beliefs.

27. SYMBOL,
taken from Wikipedia
• For example, a red octagon may
be a symbol for "STOP".
• On a map, a picture of a tent
might represent a campsite.
• A red rose symbolizes love and
compassion.

30. A symbolic action conveys
meaning to the viewers.

31. Heinrich Zimmer
• Gives a concise overview of the
nature, and perennial relevance,
of symbols.
• "Concepts and words are
symbols, just as visions, rituals,
and images are; so too are the
manners and customs of daily
life

32. Heinrich Zimmer
• Symbols are a means of
complex communication that
often times can have multiple
levels of meaning.[5] This
separates symbols from signs,
as signs have only one meaning.

33. Heinrich Zimmer
• Human cultures use symbols as
a means to express their
specific ideology, social
structures, and to represent
characteristics of their specific
culture
• The meaning of a symbol is not
inherent in the symbol itself, but
is culturally learned

34. Heinrich Zimmer
• Symbols are the basis for all
human understanding, and all
human knowledge.
• Symbols facilitate human
understanding of interaction
with the world they live, thus
serving as the grounds upon
which humans make judgments.
