Which of the following elements involving social positions are determinants of communication from the eastern perspective?

From the eastern perspective, the elements of social position that determine communication are role, status and power, each fixing how one may speak and to whom.

Statement 3, role, sets what a person is expected to say and do within a relationship or setting.

Statement 4, status, marks standing and rank, shaping deference, address and the direction of talk.

Statement 5, power, decides whose message prevails and how freely others may respond.

Absence of leadership names a gap rather than a social position that determines the exchange.

Ego-centric individualism reflects a western, self-centred emphasis rather than the eastern stress on relational place.
