Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may befound in every known culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon theenvironment in such way that it attracts attention, for example, the dots and dashes ofa telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is reallygreat. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and ofthemselves. stop sign or barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of theirintricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some culture,applauding in theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval.Gestures such as waving and handshaking also convey certain cultural messages.Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have majordisadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender beingdirectly adjacent to the receiver. As result, means of communication intended to beused for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television,and the telephone are only few.Question 36.

Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education togo to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remarkis important. Education is much more open­ended and all­inclusive than schooling. Educationknows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job,whether in kitchen or on tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes placein schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education canrange from revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from achild to distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has certain predictability,education quite often produces surprises. chance conversation with stranger maylead person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged ineducation in infancy. Education, then, is very broad, inclusive term. It is lifelongprocess, process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be anintegral part of one's entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is specific, formalized process, whose general patternvaries little from one setting to the next. Throughout country, children arrive at schoolat approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similartextbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to belearned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings ofgovernment, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subjects being taught.For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in theirclasses the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newestfilmmakers are experimenting with.
