Revolutionary symbols

There is a lot of revolutionary symbols that has been re-used. What is interesting with this is that a symbol for the same thing can be slightly different in different parts of the world. With this said, we tend to combine things that we understand. We talked about some examples in class and our task is now to find some more revolutionary symbols.

Revolution means a groundbreaking change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a short period of time. They vary in terms of duration, methods, size and motivating ideology and their results include fundamental changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions.








Punk rock developed 1974-1976 in the US, UK, and Australia. A punk subculture started to develop, full of youthful rebellion and a variety of anti-authoritarian ideologies.













The Orange Revolution took place in the immediate aftermath of the run-off vote of the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, claimed to be marred by corruption, voter intimidation and fraud. An orange ribbon is the symbol of the Ukrainian Orange Revolution. 









I think that Greenpeace is a kind of revolution with all that they have managed to accomplish.  





INTERNET REVOLUTI@N - I think the at-symbol could be seen as a strong symbol for the internet revolution!

















 Gay revolution!

Tactics of manpulation

Our task was to use some of the tactics of manipulation we had learned in class. Preferably we should have filmed this but since it was spontaneous form the beginning I didn't. My day had been horrible and stressful and all this ended up with me started crying at Office Works when they didn't want to print at my paper. The whole thing was that some other guy working there had done it the day before. When I started crying out of frustration suddenly they just helped me!

Tactics of manipulation number one: Start to cry and people will help you
