Solution
- The term ‘communication’ is derived from the Latin word ‘communis’, which means ‘common’. Accordingly, communication means sharing by all whatever is common. When one communicates with others, one tries to establish a sense of commonality with them. The term communication implies imparting or exchanging some information by speaking, writing, or by use of some other medium like telephone, e-mail, etc., between two or more persons.
- George R. Terry defines “communication as an exchange of facts, ideas, opinions, or emotions by two or more persons”. It is the process of transmitting and sharing ideas, opinions, facts, values, etc., from one person to another or from one organisation to another.
