    Which makes you wonder when part of the country proudly changes the flag to look like this …

    in vexillology, the study of flags, … flags had and still have great meaning because they are easily understood by those people who can read and not read … they might not be able to understand something like ‘The Declaration Of Independence’ or ‘The Constitution’ but they would all understand a symbolic image like a flag. Which is why changing the colours, orientation or images of a flag is so important … as soon as you change it, it is a symbolic meaning to say that you no longer identify with the old flag and now stand with a new flag you’ve created from the old.
