RE: Communication: Part 5 - Language and Symbols

in #anthropology7 years ago

Woo. It's Good explanation! indisputable, that symbol is a medium of communication in one community, but we must be careful in interpreting a certain symbol of society, because the same symbol may have a very different meaning. For example, shaking the head for the Indians is meaningful yes / agree or disagree, it depends on the expression of his/her face. But for the Indonesian shaking head is just has mean not or disagree.
