Question

The situational context can change how we interpret information. 12 might be a lot or a little depending on what you're referring to-someone who is 12 feet tall would be extremely tall, while someone who is 12 inches tall would be very short. The context of the height measurement changes our interpretation of the number 12. The textbook offers some good tools you can use to make yourself aware of context, tell me one of those tools and explain how it can be used. Also, give me an example of a time context influenced how you interpreted a piece of information. This might be hard to think of, but it happens to use everyday.
