It is more of a gesture than a representation, it happens when a person wants to give an instruction and, in general, speaking and listening does not complete the interpretation of the gesture. The signs are idioms, applied in any area of everyday life, in some cases, fun and functional to do and typical of a local populism.
Signals is a term that comes from the Latin signalis. It is a sign, signal, brand or medium that informs, warns or warns of something. This notice allows you to release information, provide a warning or serve as a reminder.
They are signs, objects, gestures, marks, lights, sounds, which are used to indicate certain information about something (for example, the lights of a traffic light) or to represent something (the sign of the cross). They replace words and have a practical use, because they serve to guide us, avoid danger, inform us or help others.
Signs mean warnings, for example, fever is a sign or symptom of infection, crying is a sign of sadness, lack of consumption is a sign of the loss of purchasing power of wages, among others. They also serve to differentiate some things from others.
We speak of the culture, but before touching this point, we should note that there are signs that function as signs and displays of actions from a formal point, an easy example to analyze: Raise your hand on approval or add to a count The Assembly of deputies or congressmen uses this signal so that those presented are counted as approvals in the debate that is being discussed.
In the livestock field, the marks made on the animals are distinguished from the marks. Livestock is marked, where animals are identified by drawings or signs, which are applied to them with red-hot iron. The signal is used in small cattle and consists of a cut on the ear. Both serve to inform about the ownership of these animals.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that the signals are conventional; that is, they are created according to certain guidelines so that they can be recognized by as many people as possible. They should be located in visible places to attract attention.
