Yes, we all need Communication but why do we need it?
To communicate simply means to pass across your message.
To share your thoughts.
To say what’s in your heart.
To express your feelings.
It is important to know that there is a process to communication
The Communication Process
SENDER – MESSAGE – RECEIVER
RECEIVER – FEEDBACK – SENDER
This is very important in communication because without it, communication has not taken place. How do you feel when you talk and no one appreciates all the talk, either in words or currency? Most likely you will not feel great. This is because it is expected that when one talks, response is ensued so as to indicate that those words were received. That is the Process.
What I learned back in school was that in a communication process this is usually a sender and receiver and a lot of things in between them but one constant element is the rotation cycle of how the sender becomes the receiver and the receiver becomes the sender through FEEDBACK.
