About comunication

   Communication has been the subject of research in various fields, from medicine to philosophy, from psychology and education to art, from engineering to sociology. The complexity of the research reflects faithfully the complexity of the researched subject, the vastness of information, its uniqueness and dynamics.

Communication is viewed differently:

• by the doctor, as a means of diagnosis;
• by the artist, as a means of conveying a story, an emotion;
• by the psychologist, as a means of identifying and developing personality traits;
• by the sociologist, as a means of quantifying the usefulness of the individual in society;
• by the teacher, as a means of educating, guiding;
• by people, generally, as the means by which they express their emotions, use their know-how, the barometer of their social evolution, the alarm of the state of physical and mental health.

What is communication?

   Starting from the multitude of definitions given by specialists in various fields, we synthesize the definition of communication as the process by which an individual sends, consciously or unconsciously, through various channels, information, emotions, intentions and interests. Communication thus becomes the bond between people and the environment where they live. It is the way in which people express themselves, but also through which the others’ expressions influence them.

   For instance:
   The crying of a child is their way of communication. If the mother takes the baby in her arms and caresses his/her back slightly, she communicates affection, which helps the child feel safe, protected. This multiplied way of communication in the child-mother relationship influences the former, who has all the prerequisites to become a balanced adult with a positive self-image, capable of making decisions, developing healthy relationships with others.

   Communication involves social interaction, identifying two dimensions of this process, namely:

• relationships, as follows:
  • a low level of communication leads to a shallow, formal relationship;
  • effective communication leads to a serious, balanced relationship, focused on achieving common goals.
• community: at school, group of friends, workplace, family, etc.
