It further offers insight into how individuals use communicative processes to create unique cultural group identities and relationships within various contexts. Hall uses social comparison where speakers’ information contains specific cultural identities like gender, political, race, and other attributes that show the culture he or she subscribes. Strengths One of the theory’s strengths is that it explains the procedure to use to categorize individuals according to their culture.
