Effects of Visual Sybols in my Daily Life

Visual Symbols are not something that can be wished away. They are all over the place; every movement that anyone makes is enforced by a variety of symbols. It would be a very boring place the world over without symbols while communication would be deficient. Nonverbal cues, communicate a world of differences. We communicate constantly by sending signals to various people. Everyone interprets the signals differently. For example men might interpret a lady's smile as, "she like me ha! ha! ha!!!!"
Although visual symbols exist in every segment of life, I will dedicate my blog writing this semester to nonverbal communication. There are about seven ways that we communicate non-verbally as explained in the PowerPoint. However, the world is full of other useful symbols such as
the most well-known of Taoist visual symbols, the Yin-Yang image

that portrays the mutual interdependence of all mentally-constructed pairs of opposites. It is also known as the Taiji Symbol - we see the colors white and black each containing the other. According to the principles of Taoist cosmology, the same is true for all pairs of opposites: right and wrong, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, friend and enemy, etc. These are common meanings of symbols that make communication easy and effective.
