    Study Notes

    Communication is the process of exchanging views and thoughts between two or more people. It's essential for human life, as it allows us to express ourselves, share opinions, and convey emotions. There are three types of communication: verbal (face-to-face, TV, radio, phone), written (letters, newspapers, emails, social media), and non-verbal (body language). However, barriers to communication include cultural and emotional differences, physical absence, and technical interruptions. Effective communication is vital for human well-being and relationships, playing a crucial role in our daily lives.
