High-context culture and the contrasting low-context culture are terms presented by anthropologist Edward T. Hall in his 1976 book Beyond Culture. It refers to a culture’s tendency to use high-context messages over low-context messages in routine communication.
This choice of speaking styles translates into a culture that will cater to in-groups, an in-group being a group that has similar experiences and expectations, from which inferences are drawn.
In a higher-context culture, many things are left unsaid, letting the culture explain. Words and word choice become very important in higher-context communication, since a few words can communicate a complex message very effectively to an in-group (but less effectively outside that group), while in a low-context culture, the communicator needs to be much more explicit and the value of a single word is less important.

Sorry man, Inkie had other plans






I brought home a finished Dr. Robotnik yesterday.
He turned out far better than I expected, the colors brightened up perfectly.
He is now the world’s sexiest bookend.

Yet because the world hates us it doesn’t have hollow chocolate Pokéballs with little Pokéfigurines inside like some sort of kinder egg that isn’t dumb.
