| This is the logo for Apple, the very common technology brand. This symbol represents America's advances in technology. Plus, I'm sure almost half the population owns an iPod! |

| Clearly, this is a traffic light. In America driving is a big part of everyday life. Even when we are little, Americans are taught green means go, red means stop, etc. |

| The way this man has his hands placed on his head and his eyes closed is a common facial expression. This symbolizes that the man is stressed. I chose this to represent America because a lot of Americans' schedules are overpacked and so it's easy to get stressed out! |

| This is the logo for the popular Barbie Doll. Almost every little girl in America would recognize this symbol. As Americans, we are very image-obsessed and are taught from a very young age to strive to be beautiful, like Barbie. |

| This sign represents peace. I chose this symbol because it is very commonly used in America and it goes along with the idea that everyone wants peace. |
I like how you applied emotion to what represents Americans. Stress is a leading cause to conflict, and there is definately too much conflict amoung citizens.
ReplyDeleteYou made an interesting choice when putting stress on your list of American symbols. How true is that! I'm sitting here right now stressing about grading the rest of these posts, as well as getting my house cleaned up and grocery shopping done, on top of about 100 other things on my Sunday list. As a culture, we really need to slow down and enjoy the world around us.
