Communication is the cornerstone of human interaction and one of the most vital skills in every aspect of life. It is the process of exchanging information, ideas, thoughts, and emotions, enabling individuals and groups to build relationships, solve problems, and achieve shared goals. It is also regarded as the act of exchanging information by speaking, writing or using communicating media. But do you know communication has many ways of expressing it. And for some minutes I was wondering the ways how communication as affected us physically and emotionally in different ways.
Like I said before.... communication is very large, that just using language and speech
can't express or describe the meaning of communication, it also has order board parts like signs and facial expression which also be regarded as communication. We are all from different Country, Tribes, culture, community, environment and this different has a very big impact in communication beyond measure... these is because we are all human and we were rest differently form different country, tribes and we express ourselves and speak to ourself in different languages with different interpretation to exchange information, just the way it is on hive too, there are thousands of people on this platform from different countries that speak different languages but we still interact with each other because we have something in common which is English being a common language or universal language. For example if I was going to travel to a country like Germany with out learn german or brazil without learning Portuguese, obviously I will found it difficult to exchange pleasantry or information with them just because I don't understand their common language but the moment I start learning and studying their language, I might not be able to say it fluently but at least I will understand the basic what they are saying.
Just here in Nigeria where I am from, we have close to 500 different languages and I barely know who to speak four of this language but we have this common tribes called the YOURBA FROM THE WESTERN, IGBO FROM THE SOUTHERN AND HAUSA FROM THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY and you will be very lucky to understand this major three because it very broad but how sweet would it have been to understand and be able to relate in this order language.
Let for instant.... If you need to get anything related to Salads and fruit in cheap environment with going to the mall, the best people to meet is the northern people called the Hausa or the popular name call abokis but understand them is very hard at time and they barely speak English and you have to use sign and facial expressions to understand them.
But they are fun to be with if you understand them and I have had the opportunity to taste some of their delicacies before though and it was amuse but let not change the fact that we are talking about communication and how important it is.
Ways in which we communicate:
SPOKEN WORDS: It is universal that the best way to communicate is by exchanging word with someone either by gist, passing crucial information, judging, teaching and many more.
As we all know that advertising as to do with the way you promote your product by telling people the benefits they gain from the product, at that moment you've just communicated by speaking to them but what if you were to talk to someone that doesn't understand your language which is very common but I guess that why Communication is beyond speaking but order method to like expression and sign.
What do I mean by Expression?? You might be thinking how do you communicate with people by expressing or facial expression. Let me give a valid example for saying that, you went to get something in the supermarket and who you relate with doesn't understand your dialect then I guess that were sigh and facial expressions by using your hand or heads. But in terms of people you relate, you can show expression by giving a person a tight hug, by doing that you've just communicated to the person by hugging. Another example is someone who is in pain or feeling depression and you cheer the person up by hugging to make the person comfortable or okay , you have just communicated to the person by the hug.
So communication can also take place the ways you express yourself to people.
SIGN: You can also communication with body movements or body rotation just like you waving to someone from distance maybe to say bye or tell the person to approach you, it might mean different words tho. Sign are mostly used for deaf mute(deaf and dumb person) which they use their hand,face and leg to communicate with each other. Sign communication is used as rescue method too.
Just to round it up,Communication is an essential aspect of human life that is beyond mere words. It is like a glue that binds individuals, communities, and societies together, enabling them to share knowledge, emotions, and ideas. Whether through spoken words, facial expressions, body language, or signs, communication plays a crucial role in bridging gaps created by cultural, linguistic, and environmental differences.
