THE SYMBOLIC MEANING OF NATIONAL FLAGS

Аннотация

This thesis examines the symbolic meaning of national flags from historical, cultural, political, and linguistic perspectives. The research analyzes how colors, shapes, and emblems represented on national flags reflect collective identity, historical memory, cultural traditions, and political ideology [1, p.18]. Furthermore, the study highlights the pedagogical and intercultural significance of teaching national symbolism in modern education. Comparative analysis demonstrates that national flags function not only as political symbols but also as instruments of cultural communication and social unity.
