ENG 123 Lecture 1: Communication Arts Study Material Chapter 1 Session 1
Document Summary
Simply speaking, it is the exchange of thoughts and ideas with another person. Maybe a friend, relative, colleague, or your loved ones. By exchanging our thoughts and ideas, we also share our feelings. But aside from exchanging ideas of people, the word communication is quite broad, to begin with. Communication is also used by animals and other living organisms, not just by verbal interpretation. But in this chapter, we will focus on the communications of solely human beings. We have unique qualities that we only have. We differ from each other and sometimes it is hard for us to communicate with other people. We tend to approach people that we think we share a similarity. In that case, our connection with different people is not broad as we think. Our learnings are just limited to the people we share the same culture, personality, and beliefs.
