In all of these studies, semiotics is the base level of interpretation and understanding of the connection between object and sign. The interpreter of the symbol will determine the relevancy of the object and the symbolisation it represents. In the case of a flexible symbol this is highly regarded.
Take for example the national flag. This to some would represent the pride of our nation, the heritage and the responsibility that we have to our future generations to endure and provide. From another viewpoint this may represent an invasion, tyranny, or non-acceptance.
In this way the symbol become flexible in its interpretation and understanding, which depends on the interpreter.
