Information: Communication (From Latin

Communication is defined as the meaningful exchange of information between two or more living creatures through various means such as speech, visuals, writing, or behavior. It involves a sender transmitting a message to a receiver, who then decodes and understands the message. For communication to be successful, the parties must share a common way of interpreting the messages sent. The three primary steps in the communication process are the sender having a thought or information, encoding that thought into a message using words or symbols, and the receiver decoding the message to understand its meaning.

Communication (from Latin commnicre, meaning "to share" ) is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts,

messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior. It is the meaningful exchange of information between two or more living creatures. One definition of communication is any act by which one pe rson gives to or receives from another person information about that person's needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states. Communication may be intentional or unintentional, may involve conventional or unconventional signals, [2] may take linguistic or non-linguistic forms, and may occur through spoken or other modes. Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient, although the receiver doesn't have to be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is [citation needed] complete once the receiver understands the sender's message. Communicating with others involves three primary steps: Thought: First, information exists in the mind of the sender. This can be a concept, idea, information, or feelings. Encoding: Next, a message is sent to a receiver in words or other symbols. Decoding: Lastly, the receiver translates the words or symbols into a concept or information that a person can understand.
