Question

How does context influence your communication? Consider the language and culture people grew up with, and the role these play in communication styles.

Answer 1

Context influences the communication in a number of ways. If the physical surrounding is an audience who is there to have a good time and the people, are not that serious about the words the speaker is using then the communication can be a bit informal and loose ended whereas if it is a political debate or a rally then the audience is there for some meaningful lecture and this gives a context to the entire communication wherein the speaker has to be very careful of the words that he is using and the way he or she is expressing circumstances through gestures. So context gives a direction to the communication so that the end result can be the same as expected.

Culture and language makes way for the entire communication and decides the choice of words, the choice of actions, choice of gestures, the tone and tells the speaker many acceptable and non-acceptable statements that can be used, It gives an idea how much inclined the population is towards the topic and what all clauses of communication can be used to convey the idea to such an audience of that particular language and culture.
