Communication is commonly defined as "the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs". Communication is a process of transferring information from one entity to another.
Communication are a process whereby information is enclosed in a package and is discreeted and imparted by sender to a receiver via a channel. The receiver then decodes the message and gives the sender a feedback.
There are three major parts in human face to face communication which are body language, voice tonality, and words. According to the research:
• 55% of impact is determined by body language—postures, gestures, and eye contact,
• 38% by the tone of voice, and
• 7% by the content or the words used in the communication process.
Although the exact percentage of influence may differ from variables such as the listener and the speaker.
It is helpful to examine communication and communication theory through one of the following viewpoints:
• Mechanistic: This view considers communication as a perfect transaction of a message from the sender to the receiver. (as seen in the diagram above)
• Psychological: This view considers communication as the act of sending a message to a receiver, and the feelings and thoughts of the receiver upon interpreting the message.
• Social Constructionist (Symbolic Interactionist): This view considers communication to be the product of the interactants sharing and creating meaning. The Constructionist View can also be defined as, how you say something determines what the message is.
• Systemic: This view considers communication to be the new messages created via “through-put”, or what happens as the message is being interpreted and re-interpreted as it travels through people.
• Critical: This view considers communication as a source of power and oppression of individuals and social groups.
Communication is the process of generation, transmission, or reception of messages to oneself or another entity, usually via a mutually understood set of signs.
