Communication

There are many styles of communication. These styles include visual, auditory, ways of writing, languages, the arts, body language, etc. Interpretations are the perfect example of successes and failures within the subject of communication because ideas and thoughts can be conveyed to others differently. This also connects with the idea of clarity of thoughts. Conveying your personal information to others and allowing them to be a part of your understanding allows for the idea of sharing unbiased information. All of these ideas on communicating provide a wider perspective on the whole concept of communication.

Whether it's a wink, a head nod, words spoken, or words written, there are a million ways to convey information. A smile- "Hey, it's nice to see you again." A yell-"I can't believe that just happened..." A picture of children uploaded to Facebook- "I'm so proud of my kids." Humans interact in so many different ways so consistently, most of the time we may not even know we're sending a message. It is a way of expressing our thoughts, feelings, actions, everything. People communicate not only through spoken conversation, but with body language, pictures, poetry, stories, etc. The options really are endless which in my opinion makes communication vital to our society.
