What is Communication?

What is Communication? It's difficult to find a "perfect" definition but we'll define it, look at examples, areas in the field of communication studies, and some basic communication models to explain the meaning of "communication" and its processes in a well-rounded way.

Communication is one of those words that means a hundred different things to a hundred different people. But, but, by looking at several approaches to communication models, definitions, and theories, you'll leave the video with a fair overview of the concept.

    For me, Coach. Communication is a process of how we can generate information and sending to its destination effectively in different ways and means. By that, We generate other meaning of message in general that can be the outcome of our communication process that can lead to our social reality. My course brought me here and it gave me an idea about it. ❤️

    Communication happens, to me, on an intrapersonal and interpersonal level. The way we communicate with the outside world is very much a reflection of our inner communication process. The stories we tell ourselves have an influence on how we are able, or unable, to communicate with the world around us. When we are communicating within a defined culture, we tend to share more than we create. When we open ourselves up to other cultures and situations, we have to deal with different norms and values. This is where we create new communication, resulting in a (temporary) culture.

    Communication is the process of two or more people or groups exchanging information, ideas, thoughts, and feelings. It is a basic human activity that enables individuals to communicate with one another and exchange ideas, feelings, and experiences. There is a sender, a message, and a receiver in the communication process. The communication process involves understanding, sharing, and meaning, and it consists of eight essential elements: source, message, channel, receiver, feedback, environment, context, and interference. Among the models of communication are the transactional process, in which actions happen simultaneously, and the constructivist model, which focuses on shared meaning.

    Dear Sir, According to me, the relationship between word and concept is called communication. Nature has given voice to man, not words. Language is man's own invention and because the human brain is pictorial, it,s only recognizes the picture, so communication ll not be completed until our word do not create the picture. According to Aristotle, there is a waxy substratum in our mind .Every experience that comes to our senses is imprinted on this waxy substrate and again when we go through the same experience, our words and sounds, taste, smell etc. match with the image imprinted on this waxy substrate if we already have it in our mind. If that image exists, the communication is complete; otherwise, a new image becomes a part of our mind, but the communication ll not completed. That's why we try to use words in our message that are already in our reader's or listener's frame of reference. enghlish is not my mother languge but i did my best to convey or share with you.

    I've always believed that communication is never one-directional thus it's not in one's intent or that meaning is in the words he/she chooses. It's what two/more people create in the process. And how they create it depends on the perception of the shared.

    I believe that communication can express who we are and it also shapes who we are (when we interact with other people). I don't think it defines who we are, however. Other people get to know who we are through out communication but I believe our identity comes from a deeper more lastly place than through interactions.
