An Overview of Communication 2

Implications of Effective Communication Behavior

Why is it important that we acquire better skills in communication? Lets consider three reasons.

Personal Growth:
One reason why it´s important to learn comunicate more effectively is that through communication I become whoever I am and you become whoever you are. We are more than our physical bodies-more than skin and bones. The mental and the emotional along with the physical make "me" and make "you". Through communication you and I discover the names for things about us and, more importantly, the meanings of things about us. Through communication you and I develop language so that we can identify and describe the things about us,even identify and describe ourselves. Through communication our personalities develop. But our mental and emotional development doesn´t stop at age five, or age thirteen, or upon graduation from high school-it continues. For each of us, the quality of our communication affects the quality of our living. The link between communication and mental health is clear. Can I think and express my thoughts clearly? Have I learned to be open and trust? Can I let myself be known by others? Or am I afraid and fearful? Am I withdrawn from others and from my world? These are matters directly related to one´s communication development. For these reasons, personal growth is one of the major objectives of the study of communication.

AN OVERVIEW OF COMMUNICATION

INTRODUCTION
Communication is a survival mechanism. We develop as unique persons; we rate to others; and we cooperate with others through communication.
Communication is a process that is dynamic, systemic, transactional, adaptive, and continuos, and we engage in it at numerous levels, including the intrapersonal, and public communication levels.
Human beings are communicators. Our quality of life depends upon communication.Pimitive peoples´attempts to make recognizable sounds were undoubtedly motivated by the need to meet threats to survival.
They learned to make sounds that were warnongs of impending danger,threatening sounds to frighten away intruders, and pleasant sounds to establish friendship and rapport.
Such communication, observable also in animal behavior, is called presymbolic communication.

The presymbolic communication of animals is amazingly efficeient: The signals animals send through sounds, positions, and movements- can express such definite things as " Get out of my territory", "Help", etc. Crickets and grasshopers have an atonishing variety of songs, with accompanying moods that vary from courtship to combat-to-the-deaht. Some species of butterfly change their color in a fraction of a second and give off an odor as a mating signal.

In human communication, as in animal communication, the purpose is to enable organisms to adjust to their environments.

Language and Identity

Language and identity are two expressions that need to be explained. English is the official language in several countries, Chinese is the language spoken by Chinese people and Danish is how Danes speak. But languages could also be described as different ways of talking due to social background, education, profession,age and sex. A person´s language is connected to his social situation. Eliza, the cockney flower girl from the gutter does not speak the same language as professor HiIggins, even if English is their common mother tongue. They speak differently because they belong to different social worlds. Identity can signify the very special characters of a person, something that makes him differ from others.

There is a link between language and identity. But language studies that are concertrated on pure linguistic training of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation bring only about external progresses. If they are completed with literature they are likely to attain a higher level. Language skills are important, but they are nothing but tools. To be used in a fertile way that produces interior changes of character and personality, they need to be completed with a knowledge of literature.
