Journal Entry 1 Comparison of the idea of an idea

An idea in normal terms would be a thought, or new concept that a person thinks of in his mind. The same idea might change when there is people that think differently than others, for example, thinking out of the box.

According to semiotics, the sign is used as a basis to make meaning, it is differentiated into the signifier, which is the materialized form (can be seen) of a prec-onceptive thought in a persons mind, and the signified, which is the pre-conceptive, already present idea in the persons mind.

Therefore from semiotics, an idea is present in the mind, which forms the signified, and works together with the signifier to create a sense of meaning for every object in the world, even characters, that we use in our daily lives.
