Editing Human communication (section)

==Types==
Human communication can be subdivided into a variety of types:
* [[Intrapersonal communication]] (communication with oneself): This very basic form of information, is the standard and foundation, of all things communication. This communication with ourselves showcases the process in which we think on our previous and ongoing actions, as well as what we choose to understand from other types of communications and events. Our [[Interpersonal relationship|intrapersonal]] communication, may be shown and expressed to others by our reactions to certain outcomes, through simple acts of gestures and expressions.<ref name="Hanson">{{Cite book|last=Hanson|first=Ralph E.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=x849DQAAQBAJ|title=Mass Communication: Living in a Media World|date=2016-10-20|publisher=SAGE Publications|isbn=978-1-5063-5857-4|language=en}}</ref>
* [[Interpersonal communication]] (communication between two or more people) - Communication relies heavily on understanding the processes and situations that you are in, in order to communicate effectively. It is more than simple behaviors and strategies, on how and what it means to communicate with another person. Interpersonal communication reflects the [[personality]] and characteristics, of a person, seen through the type of dialect, form, and content, a person chooses to communicate with. As simple as this is, interpersonal communication can only be correctly done if both persons involved in the communication, understand what it is to be human beings, and share similar qualities of what it means to be humans. It involves acts of trust and openness, as well as a sense of respect and care towards what the other person is talking about.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hartley|first=Peter|date=2002-01-04|title=Interpersonal Communication|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203019719|doi=10.4324/9780203019719|isbn=9780203019719}}</ref>
** [[Nonverbal communication]]: The messages we send to each other, in ways that cover the act of word-by-mouth. These actions may be done through the use of our facial features and expressions, arms and hands, the tone of our voice, or even our very appearance can display a certain type of message.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Verderber|first1=Rudolph F.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wqKoBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT70|title=COMM3|last2=Verderber|first2=Kathleen S.|last3=Sellnow|first3=Deanna D.|date=2014-01-01|publisher=Cengage Learning|isbn=978-1-305-43696-1|language=en}}</ref>
** [[Speech]]: Allowing words to make for an understanding as to what people are feeling and expressing. It allows a person to get a direct thought out to another by using their voice to create words that then turn into a sentence, which in turn then turns into a conversation to get a message across. "What is spoken or expressed, as in conversation; uttered or written words: seditious speech. A talk or public address, or a written copy of this: The senator gave a speech. The language or dialect of a nation or region: American speech. One's manner or style of speaking: the mayor's mumbling speech. The study of oral communication, speech sounds, and vocal physiology".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Publishers |first=HarperCollins |title=The American Heritage Dictionary entry: speech |url=https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=speech |access-date=2022-04-20 |website=www.ahdictionary.com}}</ref>
** [[Conversation]]: Allows however many people to say words back and forth to each other that will equal into a meaningful rhythm called conversation. It defines ideas between people, teams, or groups. To have a conversation requires at least two people, making it possible to share the values and interests of each person. Conversation makes it possible to get messages across to other people, whether that be an important message or just a simple message. "Strong conversation skills will virtually guarantee that you will be better understood by most people"<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-10-30 |title=Six Benefits of Better Conversation |url=http://hodu.com/con-benefits.shtml |access-date=2022-04-20 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061030165159/http://hodu.com/con-benefits.shtml |archive-date=30 October 2006 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
** [[Visual communication]]: The type of communication where it involves using your eyes that allow you to read signs, charts, graphs, and pictures that have words or phrases and or pictures showing and describing what needs to be portrayed to get information across. Using visual communication allows for people to live daily lives without constantly needing to speak. A simple example is driving in a car and seeing a red sign that says "stop" on it; as a driver, you are using visual communication to read the sign understand what is being said and stop your car to not get into an accident. "If carried out properly, visual communication has various benefits. In the information era and fast-paced society in which time is limited, visual communication help to communicate ideas faster and better. Generally speaking, it offers these benefits: instant conveyance, ease of understanding, cross-cultural communication and generation of enjoyment".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Benefits of Visual Communication - Edraw |url=https://www.edrawsoft.com/benefits-of-visual-communication.html |access-date=2022-04-20 |website=www.edrawsoft.com}}</ref>
** [[Writing]]: What I am forming together right now is called writing where it revolves around putting words together to create a sentence that flows into a sentence of meaning. Words are letters that are put together to transform a word that allows the person to understand and follow along with what is being portrayed. Writing requires us to use our hands and paper to form words and letters to create the flow of a message or conversation. Writing can also be done in the form of typing which is what you are seeing here, forming words together on a computer. "Writing" is the process of using symbols (letters of the alphabet, punctuation, and spaces) to communicate thoughts and ideas in a readable form".<ref>{{Cite web |title=What Is Writing? {{!}} Writing {{!}} EnglishClub |url=https://www.englishclub.com/writing/what.htm |access-date=2022-04-20 |website=www.englishclub.com}}</ref>
** [[Mail]]: This is in the form of postage which is in a letter or package. When someone uses the post office service requiring them to send a letter that they wrote with pencil and paper or they are using the postage service to send an object to someone out of state. Makes for an easier process to send a loved one messages or objects that do not live next to you or within a 20 min drive distance. "Material (such as letters and packages) sent or carried in a postal system".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Definition of MAIL |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mail |access-date=2022-04-20 |website=www.merriam-webster.com |language=en}}</ref> For an example a loved one is in the military and is out of state, to let them know what is going on in your life and to also ask how they are doing you send them a letter via the postal service to get that message to them at their location. Workers at the postal service get the letters and packages across states and countries.
** [[Mass media]]: "The means of communication reaching a large number of people such as the population of a nation through certain channels like film, radio, books, music, or television in that the consumer participation stays passive with comparison to interactive network platforms".<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Mass Media {{!}} IGI Global |url=https://www.igi-global.com/dictionary/mass-media/17957 |access-date=2022-04-20 |website=www.igi-global.com}}</ref> The television allows for getting messages to a lot of people in different locations in a matter of minutes making it for the fastest communication skill.
** [[Telecommunication]]: A style of communication that allows humans to understand conversation, speech, and or visual communication through technology. Whether you are listening to the radio, using your eyes to watch television, or reading words in an email that is Telecommunication. This type of communication allows for a faster and more efficient process for a message to get across to another one from anywhere you are. Location is not a problem for this type of communication. "The [[transmission media]] in telecommunication have evolved through numerous stages of technology, from [[beacon]]s and other visual signals (such as [[smoke signal]]s, [[Semaphore line|semaphore telegraphs]], [[signal flag]]s, and optical [[heliograph]]s), to [[electrical cable]] and [[electromagnetic radiation]], including light. Such transmission paths are often divided into [[communication channel]]s, which afford the advantages of [[multiplexing]] multiple concurrent [[Session (computer science)|communication sessions]]. ''Telecommunication'' is often used in its plural form".
* [[Organizational communication]] (communication within organizations): Defined by structure and planning, making words, phrases, and images flow into direction and meaning. "The construct of organizational communication structure is defined by its 5 main dimensions: relationships, entities, contexts, configuration, and temporal stability".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Johnson |first=J. David |date=1992-09-01 |title=Approaches to organizational communication structure |url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0148-2963%2892%2990010-9 |journal=Journal of Business Research |language=en |volume=25 |issue=2 |pages=99–113 |doi=10.1016/0148-2963(92)90010-9 |issn=0148-2963|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Making it easier to work into groups of different culture and thoughts.
* [[Mass communication]]: This type of communication involves the process of communicating with known and unknown audiences, through the use of technology or other mediums. There is hardly ever an opportunity for the audience to respond directly to those who sent the message, there is a divide/separation between the sender and receiver. There are typically four players in the process of mass communication, these players are those who send the message, the message itself, the medium in which the message is sent, and those who receive the message. These four components come together to be the communication we see and are a part of the most, as the media helps in distributing these [[message]]s to the world every day.<ref name="Hanson"/>
* [[Group dynamics]] (communication within groups): Allows ideas to be created within a group of people, allowing many minds to think together to form and create meaning. "The interactions that influence the attitudes and behavior of people when they are grouped with others through either choice or accidental circumstances".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Definition of group dynamics {{!}} Dictionary.com |url=https://www.dictionary.com/browse/group-dynamics |access-date=2022-04-24 |website=www.dictionary.com |language=en}}</ref>
* [[Cross-cultural communication]] (communication across cultures): This allows different people from different locations, gender, and culture, in a group to feed off of each other's ideas to form something much bigger and better. "Culture is a way of thinking and living whereby one picks up a set of attitudes, values, norms, and beliefs that are taught and reinforced by other members in the group".<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Communication |first1=in Cultural |last2=Communication |first2=Intercultural |date=2014-09-25 |title=Cross Cultural Communication |url=https://www.communicationtheory.org/cross-cultural-communication/ |access-date=2022-04-24 |website=Communication Theory |language=en-US}}</ref>[[File:Participants_at_GLAM_WIKI_Tel_Aviv_Conference_2018_(106).JPG|thumb|Example of face-to-face interaction between three individuals]]
