What is Communication?

I have found the meaning for you in http://www.dictionary.reference.com/, it is the act or process of communicating. We communicate with other people to share information, thoughts, opinions, feelings, etc.

We can communicate in many ways, such as talking which is known as verbal communication and body gestures/expressions which is known as non-verbal communication. I have watched a video from http://www.youtube.com/ that tell me more about non-verbal communication.

I have another video from a movie called "Silence", maybe some of you have watched this movie before. It's about a girl who cannot speak,, so she always use her hands to communicate with other people.
Here is the link to the video.....

There are 3 models of communication:
Linear Communication
This model is more likely to be one-way communication. I think this model is not really suitable nowadays although some people still use this model in their life.

Interactive Communication
This is the two ways communication, the receiver can give feedbacks to the sender. Sometimes, the message and the feedback overlap each other, therefore miscomunication has a quite big opportunity to happen.

Transactional Communication
This is the latest form of communication, many people said that this is the most accurate model that represent communication in daily life. Both of the sender and receiver act as communicators, so they can communicate directly. It is more to face-to-face communication.

This week, we are also talking about perspective. Everybody has different perspectives of one thing. Usually our perspectives are based on our experiences, environment, knowledges, etc.

Let's see your perspections on this picture below...




Some people may say "Those children suppose to go to school, what are they doing in the field?"
while the other may say "Those children are very smart, they know how to make money."
What is yours? (Please write it in comment's box) =)
