Examples Of Human Communication

Human communication is the way in which humans share and express their culture and beliefs. Language is more than just communication its what controls and influence our control and therefore our society. Each society sees the world through their own cultrual lens and each culture is filtered by the diffrent languages and rules. Park states in his book "What is connected to cultural systems directly, however, are the words themselves. What people call things tells us what sorts of categories they recognize. How they express ideas tells us how they view their world (Park, pg 287)." Each societies environment and experiences are diffrent and different cultures reflect that and by extension so to does each culture or social groups language. Language

Language is connected to culture and human understanding in that how we speak is how we explain our reality and also understand our reality. The NPR talk with Robert Siegel also gave some interesting example of how language relates to culture and social groups. One example was Rober Siegel interview with actress Lake Bell on her move "In a World". In the article, Lake Bell states that "I have been personally ruptured and unsettled by the trend the vocal trend that I call sexy baby vocal virus talking. Not only is it pitch so really high up. But it 's also a dialect. It 's, like, a speech pattern that includes up talking and fry. So it 's this amalgamation of really unsavory sounds that many young women have adopted. It 's a pandemic in my opinion." Although Lake Bell is poking fun at the way someone women now talk in modern day I think it was an interesting example that relates heavily to how culture and language are related. As a society advances and changes, new ways of speaking can arise. Specifically, new dialects and words can represent and express the worldview of that time. In this instance, Lake Bell is describing her displeasure of the dialect of certain modern day women which has been brought about young people culture

And in applying to become department chair, as he explained to me many years later, he 'd been failed on the speech test. And at you know, the thing you weren 't supposed to sound like in the New York City public school system was a New Yorker." I think the talking point with his father was an interesting example of how language and culture relate to one another. Although his father accent was a part of New York culture it wasn 't necessarily accepted as the primary means of speaking in the school social group. The social group of the teaching department didn 't accept that as a proper way of speaking so Siegel father had to learn to speak and turn his dialect into the one the school wanted. The social group viewed language as an important part of their identity there for wanted others to act according to that language and way of speaking. I think the most important thing Siegel says in regards to language and culture is that he states that "For my parents, you know, good speech was a mark of being educated and a mark of also being American." For Siegel, parents speaking and language wasn 't just a means of communicating it is was a means of economic and social mobility and also a way to stay connected to the
