OBJECTIVE: Symbols that we encounter in our everyday lives are interpreted by us depending on certain factors, such as: our age; our nationality; our understanding of history, etc. etc. For example, the ‘golden arches’ of the McDonald’s fast food chain is fairly universal, but if you live in a country that doesn’t have a McDonald’s, it may not mean anything to you. The purpose of this assignment is to understand that you are very much a product of your country, citizenship, culture, and that you are currently living in the 21st century.
INSTRUCTIONS: Open the attached assignment. When you look at the symbol at the top of the page, give me your VERY FIRST IMPRESSIONS of that that symbol is before doing any ‘research’ on that it symbolizes – this is part A. In part B, do some research to answer the factual questions!
