Document Summary
Communicaion is a coninuous, irreversible, transacive process involving communicators who occupy diferent but overlapping environments and are simultaneously senders and receivers of messages, many of which are distorted by the physical and psychological noise. The process of human beings responding to the symbolic behaviour of other persons. Credible communicators have the trust of their audience: intense curiosity, why people behave as they do, lateral thinking and hard work, communicaion is a process. Communicaion does not occur in isolaion it is more an ongoing process. Not a likes a series of photos posted on facebook, but rather a twiter feed, coninuous: communicaion is symbolic. Symbol an arbitrary sign used to represent a thing, person, idea, event, or relaionship in ways that make communicaion possible. Non verbal things such as the nodding of your head is an another symbol. Non- verbal symbols can someimes be confusing and misleading.
