A discussion and analysis with specific examples

Term Paper , 2013 , 12 Pages , Grade: 2,7

Communications - Intercultural Communication

The statement: "communication is culture and culture is communication" by Edward Twitchell Hall tries to sum up what culture and communication means and even, how these words are connected with each other.
But how did he came to this conclusion and why did he believe in this relationship between communication and culture? As a consequence, another interesting question in this context could be: "What was first, communication or culture?"
On the following pages I would like to take a closer look at the statement by Edward T. Hall. In addition to that I will try to give specific examples to find out whether if this statement in my opinion is true or false.
