convergent dimensions of modern society, not non-convergent. Communication is an essential tool for socialisation, as it helps individuals learn societal norms, values, and behaviors. Socialisation cannot occur effectively without communication, making these dimensions inherently interrelated.

enculturisation (the process by which individuals learn and adopt the cultural norms of their society). Through communication, societal values, customs, and traditions are shared and internalised by individuals, helping to integrate them into their culture.
