“Good communication is the bridge between confusion and reality”.

- Nat Turner

Communication has a symbolic nature and is an act of sharing one’s ideas, emotions, attitudes, or
perceptions with another person or group of persons through words (written or spoken), gestures,
signals, signs, or other modes of transmitting images. Communication is everywhere. It is part of each
and everyone’s life. Its function might be to inform, to persuade, or to motivate. Every communication
involves (at least) one sender, a message and a recipient. But generally, the essential elements of the
process of communication are the message, the sender, encoding, the channel, the receiver, decoding,
acting on the message, the feedback, and the communication environment. This may sound simple, but
communication is actually a very complex subject. Because the transmission of ideas always
encounters barriers that reduce its effectiveness. So both the sender and the receiver must do their part
and be able to communicate well in spite of all the possible noise or barriers. To communicate
effectively, one should develop not only skills, but also a sense of empathy with others.
