Key PointsStatement I : Language and other symbolic means of communication are surely social products.
  • Language is heavily influenced by culture and language will represent everything about the culture. 
  • The relationship between the sign and the signified concept is arbitrary, much like in verbal symbolic communication.
  • The signalling systems used in nonverbal symbolic communication are taught and socially accepted. 

So, Statement I is true. 

Statement II: Communication media always provide a feel-good factor to their users. 

  • Communication media is a means, channel, or method used to transport messages from the sender to the receiver. 
  • The communication medium serves as a conduit to connect different computing devices so they can communicate with one another. 
  • Communication media and its association with emotional well-being can be positive and negative.

Thus, Statement II is false. 

Therefore, Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
