NATURE AND PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION
Communication is what connects us as human beings. Society cannot function without communication,
whether it is face-to-face conversation across a dinner table or video conferencing across international
boundaries. But because it is a regular part of our lives, almost like breathing, communication is often thought
of, if at all, as something we are just naturally born to do. Communication, seemingly natural and therefore,
need not be studied, has to be learned AND mastered. Communication is an art, a science, a process, and a
technique. (Oral Communication in Context, Ramona Flores)
