Dove and peace, rose and love, they are simple yet symbolic. Every two years televisions around the world are graced with the images of five multicolored joined rings meant to represent the unity of the world in a celebration of the Olympic games. Although a circle is nothing more than a geometric shape to some, others take it to be a representation of endless love and friendship. People hold different things to be symbolic, but …

The fifty individual states come together as under a banner of freedom and liberty to represent one country with unified goals. Some countries are less fortunate and are represented under a flag of hatred and war. Symbolism is used to represent objects (and people) in our everyday lives in many forms such as on television and in cities.
