Communication skills - means of socialisation

     Communication implies more than one person. There must be someone to transmit a message and someone to receive it. People communicate with each other in various combinations and in very different ways. When they have a lot in common, they communicate most easily.

     Communication is undertaken for a purpose. There is always a reason to share ideas and meanings.  This social situation involves people together. They need to establish and maintain personal relationships.

     All members of human community spend a lot of time talking to each other, asking or answering  questions, giving or getting information and instructions etc. But language is not the only means of communication. It is also achieved by a body language. Generally said, the way people dress, the way they move, sit and stand can say a great deal about their attitudes towards the people they are communicating with. Facial expressions and the tone of voice used when speaking can all say much more about how a person feels than the words that he or she actually utters.
