Semiotics, according to philosophers, especially the old Greco-roman civilisation, is defined as the use of symbolic communication focusing on the interpretation of gestures, signs and movement as intended messaging from one person to another or even to a larger society. Closely related to the subject interpretation and meaning of symbolic messaging is the theory of “deconstruction” as propounded by such great scholars like Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, all related to the reading of the symbols and signs of the message source or that of the messenger and the perception created by the symbols.
