...objects. The theory of semiotics has been around since the late 1800’s. A Swiss linguist, Ferdinand de Saussure developed the theory and explained it early on as the use of language and how certain symbols and objects obtain meaning. The theory or science of signs and their meanings became known popularly as semiotics. Language is something of a system of mutually defining entities. Saussure distinguished between diachronic and synchronic linguistics. Simply put the use of linguistics defines objects and the way that we, as a culture, see and describe the world with which we interact. From its inception the theory of semiotics has been useful in regards to all different aspects of communication. It can be used to examine persuasion, social interaction theory, media cultivation and penetration theories as well as interpersonal communication. This wide range of applications for this theory make it particularly pertinent to the discipline of communication. Large companies and organizations use this theory in advertising. This use of semiotics in advertising can be helpful when developing large brands and companies take advantage of it on a daily basis. The advertising world uses semiotics in a number of different ways.

...Annotated Bibliography Cynthia Beckner South University Online PSY2002: April 30, 2013 Topic 1: Early Childhood: 1). Linda Knight (2009). Dreaming of other spaces: What do we think about when we draw? The Psychology of Education Review, Vol. 33, No. 1, March 2009 The article focuses on the enhancement of the learning process during early childhood development by the engagement of adults with children as they draw, and the interpretations of these drawings. By being engaged with young children as they express themselves on paper, allows the visualization of the child’s “thought” process as they are drawing. Along with the many applications of childhood developmental theories, the interpretation of a young child’s doodling is now perceived through Deleuzians and Guattarians dreaming concepts and Foucauldians heterotopic space concepts (Knight, 2009). Foucault’s concept of heterotopic space suggests that the young drawer visits his own imaginary space while doodling. This is a place where the child is free to imagine, free to choose, and free to express. Deleuzian’s and Guattarian’s concept suggests the child be free to be chaotic and unpredictable. Being able to dream allows the child to disconnect from the work and make his own connections. Examining and interacting with a child and his artwork can give us insight to emotional, cognitive, and physical development to the child. To a small child, scribbling can aid in muscle coordination, emotional release and...

The Journal of American History 89.2 (2002): 512-37. ProQuest. Web. 27 May 2013. This scholarly journal explains that America plans to help Afghanistan to develop their country and also to prevent the local culture, which is influenced by Russian. In the article, Cullather points out that, “Within Afghanistan's government, the impulse to modernize went back to the early twentieth century when tribal and ethnic loyalties were reformed as a national identity.”(5). This shows the importance of the loyalty in Afghanistan culture and can support my topic. Although only a small part of this journal is related to my research question, the ideas and research results could be used as references. Kenneth D. Wann.
