One of the characteristics of communication is the two types of dimensions, content, and relationship, which is how you emphasize your communication or interpret someone else’s communication. A simple sentence can change because of the tone of your voice, facial expression, and even how you’re standing/sitting. The content dimension means new information is expressed by the speaker conveying an intentional message. The relationship dimension is less explicit but still offers information based on their emotions and attitudes toward other people. When talking about communication when referring to text messages your tone can be expressed by using all caps on your letters or utilizing emojis. Telling the two dimensions apart is determined by what is said and how the information is communicated. It all goes back to the sharing sense when communicating and how we share our experiences from when we are young to old as we pass them on to the next generation our different expressions (Beebe et al., 2022).

 choose to look at principle number three, effectively use and interpret nonverbal messages. A lot of communication is nonverbal which constitutes anything other than what is written or spoken to help create meaning for someone else. I find that these nonverbal communications can often have a greater impact than words by themselves. One obvious example of this is when someone uses hand gestures such as a thumb for hitch hiking or a middle finger when they get cut off on the road while driving. Other’s might be someone frowning, or looking at there phone instead of listening to the conversation. “You may not be aware of your frown when someone asks whether he or she may sit next to you in a vacant seat in a restaurant (Beebe et al., 2021).” Nonverbal responses speak louder than words and often display how we feel towards one another. This often gets murky when moving outside our own cultural expectations as well. Sometimes people say things, but their nonverbal message contradicts the message which has ties to both concept of content and relationship messages.

I believe it is very important to study communication, communication is around every day at every moment. You are either communicating to a stranger in a store, communicating to a coworker, communicating to family at home, or even communicating to yourself. I could even say that I am communicating in this discussion. Communication can build a relationship or even break one. You must always be aware of what you are saying, how you are saying it and how others perceive it. communication can be in many forms, words, body language, devices such as phone and TV, and writing.  Communication courses can develop the whole person, it can help improve educational enterprises and even help someone be a responsible citizen in the world. Studying communication can ultimately help one’s career and business.
