WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?

Communication is the exchange of feelings, thoughts, behaviors and information between two people or groups of people, sender and receiver.

The person communicates with those around him in order to lead a healthy and happy life in the social environment. In addition, communication is very necessary in order to meet the spiritual – physical needs. Communication is essential for the healthy operation of social laws and rules. This shows that communication is the link that connects a person to his near and far surroundings.

IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION

Man is a collective creature. Therefore, Communication constitutes an inevitable and important dimension of human life, which is a social being. Every person living in society is in communication with each other, whether they realize it or not. People convey their feelings, thoughts, dreams and problems to each other through communication. Through communication, people understand each other, share their problems, and find solutions to their problems. In other words, communication is at the center of human life.

A person is in constant communication with his family, friends, neighbors and surroundings. Throughout history, people have always given importance to communication and have been in constant communication. Paintings of early humans on the cave wall were a means of telling someone something. Smoke, fire, even pigeons were used as means of agreement. Now we have countless ways of communication and human beings can communicate with someone on the other side of the earth or even in outer space.

In cases where communication does not occur, the person sees himself in a vacuum and feels a great loneliness. In fact, a person who never speaks may even forget to speak in time. Especially nowadays, there are communication problems. Most of the time, we cannot establish a healthy communication with our friends, mother, father and brother while we communicate with people far away by means of telephone and Internet.
