underlying principles to guide us
into effective communication.

Communication can be expressed through
written or spoken words (verbal) or actions

receiving facts in words. It does involve
ideas and emotions that are expressed
through signs, symbols and gestures.

taking place even when someone
does not want or intend to
communicate. This “does not want to
communicate” feeling of someone
actually does communicate
