Communication

 Communication is the process of creating meaning between two or more people.

The types of communication include

 Interpersonal communication that involves exchange of beliefs or perceptions. It involves

understanding and sharing. This type of communication occurs in day to day

communication in my life for example between friends and I.

 Intrapersonal communication; this is communication with self. I use this kind of

communication when I’m alone and thinking to myself. for example when I get my

grades after an exam I reflect on ways to improve the grade in course of the semester.

 Dynamic; this is communication between two people who are interacting together. It can

be between two friends, employer and employee or two classmates.

together in order to do a certain topic together.
