10. Nature of Communication Communication is a two-way process of connecting to both living and nonliving things. It is also a means of sharing and exchanging messages, information, ideas, and feelings for mutual understanding ( Gregoriom , J.C., 2015). Let us further define communication using the two key terms stated above, “message” and “understand”. p 10

11. 1. Communication is a message understood. Unless a message is understood, we cannot say that communication has taken place. Let us send a message to someone and say, “where came first”. The person who gets this message would wonder what it means, for the arrangement of the words does not make any sense. p 11

12. 1. Communication is a message understood. The message is sent but the receiver does not understand it. Therefore, for communication to take place, we have to consider two conditions. First, there should be a clear message. Second, the message must be understood by the receiver for whom it is meant. p 12

13. 2. Communication is social interaction through messages. “ communication is a sharing of experience .” In our society, we all interact with messages. Without interactions, a society cannot survive. Social interaction is always through messages We discuss problems and arrive at solutions. We exchange ideas and interact with others. We transact, and then we negotiate. p 13

14. 2. Communication is social interaction through messages. Without communication, all forms of human relationships will vanish and die. Communication is therefore crucial in building and maintaining relationships. p 14

23. Ponder! p 23 Do you believe in the phrase, “no man is an island”? Why is it important for a person to communicate?

24. Why do we communicate? p 24

25. Since then, people have the inherent need to communicate. Humans are social beings. They live to interact regularly with others. In fact, their endurance is due to their ability to express themselves and connect to one another and the world they live in. p 25

26. When you look back in the history of humankind, you will find that early man could not speak as you do today. Records show that people have used various communication techniques such as the use of symbols, gestures sounds, drawings, and sign languages (Littlejohn, 2002 as cited in Amudavalli , n.d.). Words and languages developed much later in human history. p 26

27. Over the years, communication has progressed tremendously. Language developed side by side with technology. Now in the 21st century, we realize the power of communication in building relationships and the community at large. Hence, we see the importance of communication. p 27
