Semiotics Lecture

In the semiotics lecture I learned that semiotics is about what things mean. It has to do with someone understanding symbols and the reasons they have the meanings that they do. The example of the symbol of a man meaning Restroom really showed the way in which people assign a common and universal meaning to a simple symbol. I found it very helpful the way the sign could be broken up into two separate parts, the signifier, or the form the thing being represented is in, and the signified, or the meaning given to that image. We are surrounded by signs all the time and it is fascinating to think of them in this way.
