Unique Questions About Flags for Knowledge Improvement


Let’s be real – unless we are a vexillophile, or in other words, flag collector, our knowledge about flags just comes down to knowing the names of some, adding them to Instagram bio or caption, or simply purchasing something emblazoned in them while we’re abroad or on a vacation.

However, it’s quite unfair that we restrict the vast niche to just these areas. Broadening our horizons about topics like flags stimulates our brain and makes us a better converser which is a pretty good reason to learn about them. Therefore, to help you achieve this cognitive and social goal, in this article, we will discuss some unique questions about flags to improve the basic knowledge about them.

A flag isn’t just a piece of cloth twisting in the wind, but from eagles, skull and bones to plain colors on a flag, all represent something specific to the nation/situation. Flags can represent danger, safety, freedom and even control. When discussing a national flag, it represents a nation’s ideology, history, heroic sacrifices, pride, solidarity and much more. Therefore, the symbols, colors, patterns and proportions, all are there for a reason.
