Nature and Process of Communication

Communication is the process of exchanging information between two or more parties to reach a common understanding. It can be verbal through speaking or writing, or nonverbal through gestures and body language. Communication occurs through encoding ideas into a message, sending the message through a channel, decoding and interpreting the message as the receiver, and providing feedback. Effective communication depends on establishing a shared context and overcoming potential noise or barriers that can interfere with the message being received clearly.
