Respond to Swastika and Symbols

I thinks it's really messed up that a symbol and had such good intentions and meaning could have just flipped to the opposite so quickly. Initially when I saw the swastika, before I learned about the Holocaust, I thought it was a cool symbol and now if I see there is a totally different feeling. The reading discusses how it can be found and so many different cultures as a good luck charm or in a different way but since we are so familiar with the usage by the Nazis, the thought seeing it as a good luck charm is the furthest thing and the symbol has been corrupted.

After reading the articles about the Modern Hieroglyphs, I found that symbols can be used as for anything as simple to just a man and woman to renting a car in the airport. I think learning to change English words to symbols would be extremely hard and I like how they used the a Japanese and Chinese writing to show how they have symbols for words and phrases and although, they look the same have total different meanings according to punctuation.
