Semiotic Domains

It is interesting to think about all the semiotic domains that I belong to, and the ones I do not belong to. I realized that if I am not part of a certain semiotic domain, then I tend to discriminate against those affinity groups. I do not understand their symbols and rules, so I just categorize them as being wrong. There are so many types of music, movies, television, books, and other text that have symbols and rules that I do not understand, and thus I dislike them. If I would just take the time to know the facts about these unfamiliar semiotic domains, I might start to like some of them, and perhaps even join their affinity groups. A lot of prejudice and discrimination stems from a plain lack of understanding. So much of that could be eliminated if people just tried to understand the symbols and rules that are associated with different semiotic domains.
