Differentiate content from context.

The main distinction between context and content is that context refers to the elements of a text
that surround a word or phrase and aid the reader in understanding its meaning, while content
refers to the subjects or subject matter covered in a work, particularly a written work.

The shapes, the setting for an event, an idea, or a statement and within which it may be
completely comprehended is referred to as the context. For instance, the phrase historical
context describes the time frame in which a particular event or creation occurred.

Context can also refer to the portions of a text that define the meaning of a phrase or sentence,
such as those that come before or after it. It is obvious that in order to fully comprehend a text,
one must first understand its context. This is common practice in various social media platform
when reading or browsing memes online especially those memes that are related to politics.

While the topic of a text is referred to as its content. A speech's or a literary work's content is the
subject matter covered. For illustration, the introduction, the body, and the conclusion of an
essay can all be regarded as content. The content of a document is, to put it simply, the writing
that is done on the subject at hand. Articles, essays, films, talks, and other types of material can
all be referred to as content. The easiest method to distinguish between context and content is
to keep in mind that content refers to what is written inside the work, whilst context refers to the
circumstances that aid in understanding the text.
