- When looking at the symbol on the board, the first thoughts that came to my mind is that this is may be some sort of religious/cultural symbol.
- I see familiar signs that I know have related to concepts such as these in the past. Additionally, in the center of the symbol I noticed a swastika. While this symbol was used as the flag of the Nazis during WW2, it seems to be taking on its original cultural meaning as it is surrounded by other symbols that convey these messages such as the Yin and Yang.
- I also noticed that the primary colors in this symbol are red and gold.
- Discussion with the group:
- Johnathan is Chinese so he recognizes the cultural symbols
- Simon focused on the Buddhist symbols since he saw many of them while visiting China.
- Jason knew that many of these symbols had historical significance as one of his classes last semester discussed these themes heavily.
- Nikhil’s association came from his beliefs in Hinduism.
