Communication is any physical or intangible medium through which information circulates. What I meant by that is communication could be a song, a conversation, a web article, a glance between two strangers, the colors on the traffic light, or simply a hand gesture from a disabled person.
Living in a digital era, a need for communication is crucial. There are reasons why communicating is a vital part of our human lives. People want to communicate to express their emotions or to get information from others. Let's define information to begin with.
So we talk to our loved ones while we are away via telephones or Skype. We write and perform songs to the audience to express our feelings. So is emotion a kind of information? I respectfully concur. So not only information circulates through our communication, but our emotion also does. Why do people want to get information?
They always want the best information they could get. Why? Because good information helps people make good decisions. So how do we ensure that information does not get misinformed? Through direct and bona fide communication. When people take in whatever information they receive and pass it on to the next group of people in its original condition, that's direct and bona fide communication. If people take in the information, interpret it, and impose their own emotion and opinion to the information and then share it, that's also direct communication, but not necessarily bona fide.
In conclusion, communication is the process through which we receive information, interpret it and express them.
