The angle under which you perceive different situations
Any everyday situation has context which might be interpreted differently
The way you see context depends of different factors, mainly on culture
Verbal communication is capable of delivering small percentage of information

Most of the information is coded, explicit part of message is small compared to the coded one
In order to define the actual message one must be aware of various background factors
Common for cultures with long history, important role of traditions and little cultural diversity
Strict distinction between “insiders” and “outsiders”
Deeper personal involvement into relationships which are more long-lasting

Explicit part of message dominates over the coded one
Core message is more important than background information and environment
Common for multicultural societies with high level of technological development
Relationship requires less personal involvement, often brief
Easier to become a part of system
