Phoenix Bird Wallpapers Biography
Bulging muscles and jeweled adornments are nonarbitrary symbols in human society, denoting strength and wealth, respectively. On the other hand, many arbitrary symbols -- the bishop's mitre, the admiral's gold braid, the karate master's black belt, the judge's gown, the knight's title of Sir -- are also recognized. Such symbols are arbitrary because they signal status without having any inherent connection with the status signaled.
Nonarbitrary status symbols are readily found in nonhuman animals, the classic example being the size of horns in mountain sheep. In those creatures a small-horned male will avoid a large-homed stranger seen at a distance, even though the two have never determined their relative positions in a dominance hierarchy by actual combat. The existence of arbitrary symbols outside of human society has been more problematic. British evolutionists Richard Dawkins and John Krebs adopted the term "badge" for arbitrary animal symbols, and avian biologists, especially Sievert Rohwer, have carried out investigations to see if badges play a role in dominance relationships in bird flock
