ES 375 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Lev Vygotsky, Nonverbal Communication, Cengage Learning
Document Summary
In my personal experience, i present myself differently depending on my social situations. I don"t necessarily put up a false persona but will reserve certain personality traits for the appropriate interactions. In my anthropology class we discussed a similar topic. According to the textbook humanity: an introduction to cultural anthropology by. James peoples and garrick bailey "to speak appropriately, people must take the total context into account" (ch 3 pg. Context in this case would be whom we"re talking to, who"s listening, the environment in which the interaction is taking place. In the writing mind in society by l. s. vygotsky, vygotsky discusses intellectual development of a child from a young age. The use of tools and speech together allows a child to be able to communicate effectively. As humans develop, we use speech to understand our environment and organize our thoughts. Everyone has their own unique speaking style in which they may alter in formal or informal situations.
