Teeter Dunlap Focus Paper 3 & 4 Reflection Paper After doing some research on high and low context communication I found a much better explanation in the differences. While I share qualities of both, as I'm sure most people do, I found that I am definitely a high context communicator. Just in the ways that I think and relate things it Just made a lot of sense. I tend to relate a lot of the things I see and hear with other things and I do it all the time.
Always looking for a connection is Just something I developed over time.I tend to Joke around a lot but my Jokes tend to fail with people that don't have an understanding of me.

I also tend to be more individualized and focused on who I am as a person as opposed to who I am in society. I tend to be fairly direct.
