JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATION
Communication and Definitions
Introduction
Communication is a part of life and mankind uses communication to
conduct
day-to-day affairs.communication is the integral part of life and man
uses either language or gestures or body language to
communicate.Communication is the process of exchanging
information, ideas, thoughts, and feelings between individuals or
groups. It's like a bridge that connects people, allowing them to
understand and connect with one another. In everyday life,
communication is everywhere, from speaking with friends to texting,
writing emails, or even non-verbal expressions like body language.
The Universal Communication Law posited by S.F Scudder (1980)
states the “All living entities, beings and creatures communicate”.All
living beings communicate through movements, sounds, reactions,
physical change, gestures , languages and breath. Communication
is a means of survival for one and all.Communication is an ever
continuing process. It is necessary to human, animal and vegetable
existence as life it self
Communication is like the air we breathe – essential for our survival
and growth. It's how we share thoughts, feelings, ideas, and
information with others. Imagine a world without communication: no
talking, no writing, no gestures. We would be isolated, unable to
understand each other's needs or express ourselves. In every
aspect of life, from personal relationships to business dealings,
communication plays a vital role.
, What is Communication?
Communication is the process of sending and receiving messages.
It involves a sender, a message, a medium, and a receiver. The
sender is the one sharing the information, the message is the
content being shared, the medium is the channel used (like
speaking, writing, or using body language), and the receiver is the
one who gets and interprets the message. Effective communication
is when the receiver understands the sender's intended message
accurately.
Concepts of Communication
● Verbal Communication: This involves using words to convey
thoughts and ideas. It includes speaking and writing. When
you talk to a friend or write an email, you're using verbal
communication.
● Non-Verbal Communication: Sometimes, our body language,
facial expressions, and gestures speak louder than words.
Smiles, frowns, nods – these all convey messages without
using language.
● Listening: Communication isn't just about talking; it's about
listening too. Listening carefully shows respect and helps you
understand others better. Imagine a world where everyone
only talks and no one listens – it would be chaotic!
● Feedback: After sending a message, it's important to get
feedback. This tells the sender if the message was understood
correctly. Feedback can be in the form of responses,
questions, or even just nods.
