Communication is one of the basic needs of a human being. Along with food and water, sunlight and warmth, people need information, emotions and other signals received and transmitted in the process of communication.

Step 1
The process of communication (or communication, if you use the Latinized version of this Russian word - from the Latin communis - general) is interaction with other people aimed at establishing communication and forming common behavioral strategies.
Step 2
The communication mechanism can be compared with any other information systems. In the communicative act, such elements are distinguished as a source, intention, message, communication channel, addressee, understanding (interpretation). That is, in every fact of communication there is something that the person was going to communicate; what he managed to convey and how the interlocutor understood him. In practice, these three messages rarely coincide, so the communication technology seems to be imperfect in comparison with mechanical methods of transferring information. But it should be so: as long as people are living beings with not only knowledge, but also emotions, preferences, intentions, the communicative act will never be complete and unambiguous. After establishing contact, receiving feedback, the actor seeks to adjust the methods of communication with the interlocutor for the most effective interaction.
Step 3
For communication, a person uses many coding systems. There are two main ways of communication - verbal and non-verbal. The first is named after the Latin word verbum (word), it is an exchange of symbolic symbols adopted in a given society. Non-verbal communication channels include gaze, gestures, intonation and other signals that are transmitted to the interlocutor in addition to words (and sometimes in opposition to them). The dominance of meanings expressed in non-verbal ways is due to the fact that these communication channels are more archaic and unshakable structures. In other words, what a person says using language comes from the mind, and through gestures, facial expressions, gaze and shades of voice, subconscious, instinctive, natural impulses find their expression.
