Silence (original) (raw)

The concept of silence is explored as a significant communicative process that reveals moral, political, and psychological meanings in both interpersonal and public contexts. Silence is not merely the absence of speech but can signify resistance, tension, and moral commitments, often constituting a 'right' within constitutional frameworks. Different types of silence, such as 'natural' and 'unnatural' silences, as well as their implications in various social structures, are discussed, underlining the complexity and depth of what silence communicates.
