Every message whether oral or written begins with context. It is a broader term which includes country culture, organization, internal and external stimuli. Context prompts you for sending / receiving messages and helps you in designing a successful message. Your education, past experience, liking, disliking, job status, age and confidence influence the way you communicate with others. For effective communication, your ability to translate the context of your receiver is as important as is yours. Receiver context includes his culture, expectations, values, opinions, mental ability, needs, skills, etc.
