Language
People's everyday lives are shaped through language and communication. How they are able to communicate and interact with the world around them is shaped by their knowledge of language. Differences in gender, ethnicity, location, and community affect a person's knowledge of language and their ability to use it to interact with the world around them. The most important source of language knowledge comes from the home, where speech is first learned and meaning is first ascribed. Language is not only learned through interaction with other people, but also through consumption of media and technology. Interaction with language through technology helps people maintain fluency within languages constant changing. By being fluent in the many forms of language around them, people can interact with society on a day to day basis, and make informed decisions in their activities.
