Culture basically affects and influences our way of communicating with one another because culture and communication are interdependent. The way we act and the things we say determine the culture we belong to and on the other hand culture determines how we act and communicate. As Geertz puts it; every specific act‚ every utterance

However‚ this puts to manifest that human beings should not be mere variables to be studied‚ rather‚ people with specific roles that need to be understood and measured in some respects but not in all. Reference to Geertz shows that the analysis of culture doesn ’t has to be an experimental science in search of laws‚ but an interpretative science is search of meanings.
