Representation


From this I learnt that people use representation kind of like symbolism. An image is used so that people can recognise the meaning of it by that image e.g a kiwi to represent New Zealanders. I think its useful in many ways, for one we can learn things a lot faster since a lot of representations are the summed up version of an idea,object,group etc. Because of this I think its good to have representation but in some ways its bad like if the representation is nothing like the actual thing then people get the wrong idea and that’s why representation can be a game of power and dangerous.
