Communication

COMMUNICATION!!!! What is it? Communication is a process whereby information is enclosed in a package and is channeled and imparted by a sender to a receiver via some medium. The receiver then decodes the message and gives the sender a feedback. All forms of communication require a sender, a message, and a receiver. Communication requires that all parties have an area of communicative commonality. There are [|auditory] means, such as speech, song, and tone of voice, and there are [|nonverbal] means, such as [|body language], [|sign language], [|paralanguage], [|touch], [|eye contact], and [|writing].(FROM wikipedia)(Stavroulla Hadjiconstantinou)
 * Communication** is a process of transferring [|information] from one **entity** to another. Communication processes are sign-mediated interactions between at least two agents which share a **repertoire** of signs and **semiotic** rules. Communication is commonly defined as "the **imparting** or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs". Although there is such a thing as one-way communication, communication can be perceived better as a two-way [|process] in which there is an exchange and progression of [|thoughts], [|feelings] or [|ideas] (energy) towards a mutually accepted goal or direction (information).[|[1]]
