arrange and organize into a hierarchy the retained pieces of information
determine the best language to communicate this information.
What image do we want to give?
It is important to tell the image from the message.

codes, its symbols and also its taboos.

But rigour is not rigidity.
A wink, a smile often say more than a long speech.
