Document Summary

The ability to share ideas and feelings. A two-way process by which information is exchanged between individuals, including and behaviour, verbal or nonverbal that is perceived by another. Communication is a two-way process in which the communicators try to achieve a shared meaning. No direct mind-to-mind contact, so we must share feelings and experiences through a physical process. Only inference is possible, so we never know for sure. Communication is a dynamic process no obvious beginning and end, and a means through. Communication permits the transmission of knowledge between persons, and also between which we bring definition to the world around us generations our past, present and future. Communication is symbolic, expressing things, processes, ideas. Communication is self-reflective, rooted in our ability to think about ourselves and to reflect on. The brain is an open system we can learn and we never stop learning. Communication is contextual time, place, and prescriptive regarding the type of behaviour.
