What is Communication?

Communication is integral to human life. It is an act of transferring information or ideas

from place, person or group to another. It is a way of life.

Can we imagine life without communication? In our daily lives, we need communication in
order to convey one’s thoughts and to deal with concerns in life. Through this, we were able to
build relationships and understand things around us.

Communication takes in different forms. May it be verbally, non-verbal or whatever means in

transferring information to others. It is dynamic and an ongoing process among us. It doesn’t
only stop in relaying what we want to convey but it is a process of learning. Getting the
message within is what makes communication is all about.
