- 6. Communication is process of passing infortion and understanding from one to other. - Keith Communication is an behaviour that results in exchange of meaning. - The American management association Communication is art of being understood. - Peter Ustinov
- 7. Because we do not have direct access to the thoughts and feelings of other people, we must rely on communication to convey messages to one another. There is more to communication than simply using language to speak to one another. Communication exists on a number of levels and in a variety of forms.
- 8. Verbal communication refers to the use of symbols in the form of spoken words to transmit messages. It is complicated by the fact that language is arbitrary, meaning that words change over time, due to this miscommunication occurs as word has different meaning at different time. For example, the word "love" is a very imprecise term; one person's definition of love may differ substantially from another person's
- 10. Nonverbal communication refers to the use of symbols other than words to transmit messages. It includes gestures, body language, how we utter words, aspects of our environment that influence meaning and objects. Just like words, nonverbal symbols are ambiguous. What is a polite gesture to one person may be considered rude by another person. For example, direct eye contact is appropriate in U.S. society but considered disrespectful in many Asian countries.
- 11. Intrapersonal communication is also known as self-talk or thinking, and refers to the ways we communicate with ourselves. The way we communicate with ourselves greatly affects our self-esteem. To plan our lives, rehearse scenarios before we act them out, and tell ourselves what to do or not do we use interapersonal communication.
- 12. Interpersonal communication is the communication we have with other people. This type of communication varies from highly impersonal to extremely personal. It is important ingredient of organisation
- 14. Public communication refers to public speeches that we deliver in front of audiences. It serves three main purposes: to entertain, to persuade and/or to inform. It requires greater levels of planning and preparation on the part of the speaker and involves less direct interaction with audience.
- 16. Mass communication refers to any type of media that is used to communicate with mass audiences. Examples of mass media include books, television, radios, films, computer technologies, magazines and newspapers. Mass communication is responsible for giving us views of events, issues and people from cultures that differ from ours.
- 19. Communication between human being and non-human being is extra personal communication. From all communication this calls for perfect coordination and comprehension between sender and reciever.
