While different cultures use variation symbols, there is one common ground
to all: the use of language. Language is a symbolic system through which people
communicate and through which culture is transmitted. Some languages
contain a system of symbols used for written communication, while others rely
only on spoken communication and nonverbal actions.
Societies often share a single language, and many languages contain the
same basic elements. An alphabet or specific way of writing is a system made of
symbolic shapes that refer to spoken sounds. Language is the most often used
form of symbolism. There are 6,912 known living languages, and the diversity is
caused by isolation. Most languages have a different “symbol” for each letter,
word, or phrase. The use of symbols is adaptive, that means that humans can
learn to associate new symbols to a concept or new concepts with a symbol. An
example may be drawn from two populations who speak different languages that
come into contact with one another and need to communicate.

independently designing a concept .

COMMUNIST SYMBOLISM
It represents a variety of themes, including revolution,
the proletariat, peasantry, agriculture, or international solidarity.
Communist states, parties and movements use these symbols to advance
and create solidarity within their cause. These symbols often appear in
yellow and red. The flag of the Soviet Union incorporated a yellow-outlined
red star and a yellow hammer and sickle on red. The flags
of Transnistria, Vietnam, China, North
Korea, Angola and Mozambique would all incorporate similar symbolism
under communist rule.
The hammer and sickle have become the pan-communist
symbols appearing on the flags of most communist parties
around the world. Some parties have a modified version of
hammer and sickle as their symbol, most notably the Workers'
Party of Korea which includes a hammer representing industrial
workers, a hoe representing agricultural workers and a brush
(traditional writing-implement) representing the intelligentsia.
NAZI SYMBOLISM
The Nazis' principal symbol was the swastika, which the
newly established Nazi Party formally adopted in 1920.The
emblem was a black swastika (卐) rotated 45 degrees on a
white circle on a red background. This insignia was used on
the party's flag, badge, and armband. Similar shaped
swastikas were seen in United States postcards wishing
people good luck in the early 1900s.
TIn Mein Kampf Adolf Hitler described the symbolism of the Nazi flag:
"The red expressed the social thought underlying the movement. White the
national thought. And the swastika signified the mission allotted to us-the
struggle for the victory of Aryan mankind and at the same time the triumph
of the ideal of creative work ..."

What’s In
Symbols are the basis of culture. A symbol is an object, word, or action that stands
for something else with no natural relationship that is culturally defined. Everything one does
throughout their life is based and organized through cultural symbolism. Symbolism is when
something represents abstract ideas or concepts. Some good examples of symbols/symbolism
would be objects, figures, sounds, and colors. For example in the Hawaiian culture, the
performance of a Lua is a symbol of their land and heritage which is performed through song and
dance [8] .Also, they could be facial expressions or word interpretations. Symbols mean different
things to different people, which is why it is impossible to hypothesize how a specific culture will
symbolize something. Some symbols are gained from experience, while others are gained from
culture. One of the most common cultural symbols is language. For example, the letters of an
alphabet symbolize the sounds of a specific spoken language.

What’s In
In the last module, you have learned about ethnocentrism and
cultural relativism. These two are part of our cultural aspects which shapes the
interaction of human within a society. How we perceived different culture
practices around the world is largely based on the culture that we are in and the
one that we have experienced practicing. In a culture where there is no
judgement, lies a society that is open to possibilities of changes and most likely
to brave it hand in hand. However, a society that looks up on their culture over
any other culture can also promote solidarity that doesn’t have to do with
changes. It’s solidarity to preservation to what they have and wanted to have in
the future until their next generation. No matter how society perceived a culture,
culture practices will remain to be practiced by the people.
What’s New
Activity 1. Observe the society you live in. What are the material and non-
material cultures that exist in it? Give ten examples for each.

What is It
These elements can be classified into two – tangible or material culture,
and intangible, or nonmaterial culture (Miller, 1998).
Most culture manifests materially. Human’s material inventions and
innovations such as tools, weapons, instruments, and the like are all part of
material culture. They reveal multiple insights about a society’s conditions and
its adaptation to challenges and threats in order to maintain stability and order
(at least to their group).
Material culture refers to the physical objects, resources, and spaces that
people use to define their culture. These include homes, neighborhoods, cities,
schools, churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, offices, factories and plants,
tools, means of production, goods and products, stores, and so forth. All of these
physical aspects of a culture help to define its members' behaviors and
perceptions.
However, these sociologists also argued that the culture of a human being
does not mainly refer to physical, mental, or ideational elements, but to its ideas
and meanings.

For example, a diamond is considered a valuable for most, if not for all,
societies in the world because of its ornamental and industrial use. Its essential
quality of being the hardest mineral to date explains the reason of its worth.
Conversely, if this is to be used by a lover as a gift, the diamond becomes a
symbol of love and affection towards another person. The emotional value being
presented by the diamond is a manifestation of a cultural idea (in this case, love)
agreed upon by a society.
The use of jeans or maong pants as a material culture also had its basis.
Historically, jeans were made for miners and cowboys. Then, Hollywood stars
James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley started using jeans in the 1950s,
while portraying rebellious and/or nonconformist characters in their movies.
Imitating them, teens from the hippie subculture began wearing jeans as a form
of rebellion against the prevailing culture in the West at that time. Jeans gained
even more popularity in the youth subcultures of punk rock and heavy metal in
the 1970s and 1980s.
Until now, jeans are still a common casual clothing in different societies in the
world.
