The Aspects Involved In Communication


There are many aspects involved in communication. The aspects are very important in communication. Both in verbal communication and non-verbal communication. The important aspects are language, gesture, eye contact, and also written symbols which communicate thoughts and feelings. Unfortunately, all of the aspects are not the same across the country. Of course, they will create barriers in communication. 

Communication can be:
  1. Verbal communication which requires language. A language is a system of arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures or written symbols which communicate thoughts or feelings.
  2. Non verbal communication, which does not need language to exchange ones thoughts. Silence is the best example. In certain contexts, silence can convey its own meaning, e.g. reverence, indifference, emotional coldness, rudeness, thoughtfulness, humility, aggressiveness. Silent communication shows more emotion than verbal. Non-verbal communication includes gestures, body language, signs, symbols etc.
