Low-context vs High-context Culture

Question

I don’t quite understand the difference between high-context and low-context culture. From what I’ve read on the Internet it seems that low-context culture tends to be more blunt, direct, individualistic, task-driven, and precise. I can understand this, but I don’t see how it can be applied to everyday life. Because no specific examples are given besides the use of saying “no.” So my question is what exactly are some specific examples of high context culture and low context culture that you know of or have encountered within everyday life?

Low-context: Here you can explain something best with longer sentences and bigger words.

High-context: Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
