THE ROLE OF SYMBOLS IN SOCIETY!

Information is registered in several different ways in our society.  Text is one of the most common ways we process and understand information, but symbols play a crucial role as well.  Take for example, the symbols located on the side of the highway.  They provide important information about where to find gas, restrooms, food, accommodations, etc. in a language that speaks to the majority of individuals.

The following link provides several examples of common symbols seen in society:

In this blog post, you will research and find ten symbols.  You will post the symbol and what the symbol means in your blog.  You will then write 7-10 sentences explaining the importance of using a visual message/symbols in society.
