You can start by explaining meaning of what? Meaning of words/gestures/cultural traits/rituals/ceremonies etc.

Then come to the real question: Can meaning be fixed? Yes or No. Your answer is No, you have to give the reasons WHY? Why meanings of words cannot be fixed? Maybe one reason could be because language is constantly evolving! But then again it begs the question why is it evolving and changing meanings of its words?

The whole essay requires you to justify this thesis with reasons. Examples can come later.
