What is Communication?

What is Communication? It's difficult to find a "perfect" definition but we'll define it, look at examples, areas in the field of communication studies, and some basic communication models to explain the meaning of "communication" and its processes in a well-rounded way.

Communication is one of those words that means a hundred different things to a hundred different people. But, but, by looking at several approaches to communication models, definitions, and theories, you'll leave the video with a fair overview of the concept.

For me, Coach. Communication is a process of how we can generate information and sending to its destination effectively in different ways and means. By that, We generate other meaning of message in general that can be the outcome of our communication process that can lead to our social reality.

My course brought me here and it gave me an idea about it. ❤️

Communication happens, to me, on an intrapersonal and interpersonal level. The way we communicate with the outside world is very much a reflection of our inner communication process. The stories we tell ourselves have an influence on how we are able, or unable, to communicate with the world around us.
When we are communicating within a defined culture, we tend to share more than we create. When we open ourselves up to other cultures and situations, we have to deal with different norms and values. This is where we create new communication, resulting in a (temporary) culture.

I just watched Noam Chomsky on Talks at google youtube channel, and he said 2 things: 1 Language is thought NOT communication - because we miscommunicate all the time, if language evolved to communicate, then we wouldn't miscommunicate --- 2 human language does not have a 1-1 relationship with external physical things, animals make noises when things happen, but people have opinions and interpretations which are partially mental objects --- so from my point of view communication is us thinking collectively. Communication is collective thought being worked out in real time.

I found this video very informative, it’s true that two people can watch the same video and get two different points of view from set video. When asked what they got from it their understanding will be very different from each other.

Communication is the process of two or more people or groups exchanging information, ideas, thoughts, and feelings. It is a basic human activity that enables individuals to communicate with one another and exchange ideas, feelings, and experiences. There is a sender, a message, and a receiver in the communication process. The communication process involves understanding, sharing, and meaning, and it consists of eight essential elements: source, message, channel, receiver, feedback, environment, context, and interference. Among the models of communication are the transactional process, in which actions happen simultaneously, and the constructivist model, which focuses on shared meaning.

Thank you for this expert basic understanding of the study of communication. I wanted to share my definition of communication which is rather unique. Communication is the externalizing of an internal condition.

[ziyi]

Well said. Communication is so often used but people hardly have a common definition for it. For me, it is the exchange of information and feels between people which creates understanding and relationship.

[angellizvel]

Thank you coach Alex Lyon, Your basic definition of communication and your channel is really useful❤. Now I can study more about communication through your videos😀.

[dancehallbaggabagga]

Communication is how we transmit information whether through verbal or non verbal

[nikolayordanov]

I thought that communication is about creating understanding.
But to just share is much better description.
Thank you.
