Communication Type

Communication is crucial in order to lead a normal life. we communicate with others every day, with colleagues, friends, family , lover etc.Communication makes things easier. We learn how to talk and communicate since we are little and as we grow older it should come naturally. Some people just don`t have the skills to communicate properly. Communication is a two way process , it involves a sender, a receiver and a message. When we talk to someone we communicate a information and so, that information has to be clearly understood. Communication skills involve the way you talk, body language, message etc.

There are four Different Types of Communication. The most important one is the verbal communication. Verbal communication involves written communication, oral , spoken one and email. The other also very important communication is the non verbal one. Non verbal includes expressive behaviors and body language. In a conversation body language counts as much as the words that come out of our mouth. Non verbal communication is also defined through signs, pictorial representations etc.

Another two Types of Communication is the informal and the formal communication. The formal one is usually used at work, at business meetings etc It`s straightforward, official and it has it`s rules. Informal is the one we daily use with friends family etc. The informal one is more common. It doesn`t have any rules and guidelines. Besides all these types there are some other communication ways such as : assertive, aggressive, passive and passive-aggressive. The assertive one is the one we use every day. It comes naturally and it`s usually the most used one. The second one involves manipulation and making people do what you want them to do by using all kinds of techniques like : anger and intimidation. The third one, passive communication is mostly used by shy people or by those that just don`t want to say something or to comment just to avoid an argument. Passive –aggressive communication is the worst one because people use it to get even..

All these Types of Communication are already used even if we don`t really know the scientific definition of what communication type we are using. In order to have a good conversation we need to pay attention to our tone of voice, smile, talk casually and not be mean or ironic. Having a pleasent conversation with a friend, colleague or even with total stranger, requires good communication skills, that unfortunatelly not so many people have.

As a conclusion, all the types of communication we have shown you, are just a way to teach you how to communicate.

It`s very important expecially in business to be able to communicate effectively . People should know all these Different Types of Communication, if they wanna succeed in interacting with others.
