Communication is the process of transmitting information, ideas, emotions, and intentions between individuals or groups. It can occur through various modes such as verbal (spoken or written words), non-verbal (gestures, body language, facial expressions), and visual (signs, symbols, and media). Effective communication is crucial in all aspects of life, including personal relationships, education, and business, as it fosters understanding, cooperation, and coordination. The study of communication spans several disciplines including linguistics, psychology, and media studies, exploring how messages are encoded, transmitted, and interpreted. Advances in technology have significantly expanded the means of communication, enabling instant and global interaction through digital platforms, which has transformed how societies interact, govern, and conduct business.
