Symbols, Language, Values and Beliefs, Norms, Material Culture, and Technology are the five elements of culture (Macionis,2018). Symbols, or items that stand for something else, abound in every culture, and they frequently elicit a wide range of feelings and emotions. Some symbols are genuine forms of nonverbal communication, while others are physical items. Thus, a symbol has a specific significance for individuals who share a common culture (Macionis,2018).
