Answer 1

1) The you-tube clipping depicts the conversation among a group of students in a pub where they discuss their history class and the upliftment of the economic classes and markets in the southern colonies in USA. Perception is a process of gathering, recollecting and analyzing information in the brain while communicating with friend or with oneself. The perception consists of three parts--1)selection, 2)organization and 3)interpretation of information as perceived by interpersonal or intrapersonal communication amomg people sitting at a place.

2) The characteristics of languages includes the verbal and non-verbal communication between people in the society. There are utterances of new words with the designation of meaning of the words in a logical sense. Verbal communication includes saying "HELLO" and non-verbal communication includes the waving of hands to greet a person in society. The development of codes with pronunciation of words was developed during crop rotation ,agriculture, and domestication of animals with depiction of symbols and diagrams for various forms after visualization of objects. Later it led to the development of communities, customs and religions of the people living in various regions and parts of the USA as depicted in the movie.
