According to Matthew Arnold, culture is the best and brightest such as the opera, it includes sophisticated arts and individuals. However Raymond Williams says that culture is the most complicated word because it doesn't separate high culture apart from low or pop culture. The Rhetoric Analysis from Plato suggests that we are in a cave and that when we are so accustomed to our ways and venture out, we do not accept the truth to use symbols and signs to influence culture. When we use an image or sound to distinguish an object the concept is then returned with the association. The three characteristics of a sign in our culture are; arbitrary - the meaning of a sign is dependent on its social historical context, linear - which is a system that gives meaning to the previous word or symbol, and finally difference - which recalls from the absence or opposite of a sign.
Does the context of a sign or symbol in our culture have different meaning based on location and social culture???
