Homework Help: Communication Studies

What shapes our perceptions more biology or society? I would say society because we are exposed to so many things in every direction on a daily basis. For example, the media and people impact our perceptions. What would you say and why? Thanks!

So based on that article it depends upon the situation? What would you say?

Yes, it depends — on which perceptions you are discussing, how deviant the social norms are from typical biological development, the sources of our information (e.g., media, parents, peers), whether these sources support or contradict each other, and other factors related to each situation.

I hope this helps a little more.
