Meaning- Chapter 5

Interpreting and understanding a message can be difficult when the message involves a medium. A message depends on the context in which it was said. The message can be lost or misinterpreted once a receiver has created their own understanding of what was said. All forms of communication are dependent upon a person’s point of view and physical and emotional state. Most of a person’s point of view is based on the culture in which they live in. Their culture helps people interpret messages developed over time by their society. These meanings are slowly developed over time.
