    Communication involves the exchange of messages and information between individuals to build understanding. It is a two-way process of connecting through sharing experiences. For communication to be successful, there must be a clear message sent from the speaker and understood by the receiver. The communication process begins with a stimulus that the speaker encodes into a message through a channel. The receiver decodes and interprets the message, then provides feedback to the original speaker. Barriers can sometimes interfere with effective transmission of the message. Communication serves to allow for social interaction and sharing of ideas, feelings, and experiences between individuals and within society.
