Therefore, recognizing the importance of communication is the first step in developing a positive societal culture. Interpersonal communication refers to the way verbal and non-verbal information is exchanged among individuals, coworker, and family members and it involves the ability to pay attention to what others are thinking and feeling (Peterson, 2005). Hence, the absence of high-quality communication skills can lead to an unstable interaction among people living in a given environment.

Interpersonal communication models or patterns which includes three communication types (Adler & Rodman, 1997, p.5 [1]). The Interpersonal Communication Patterns model is subdivided into 3 communication types:

B. More also, IPC is based on a fundamental principle which includes, IPC is inevitable principle, irreversible, unrepeatable,

Whether it's through talking, facial expressions, or body language, we're always communicating. Imagine what our social world would be like without communication. Difficult to do, right?
2. Interpersonal communication is also irreversible. In other words, once you say it, it's said! You can't take back something you say to another person. If you say something hurtful or rude to someone, you can apologize for it later, but you can't undo the fact that you said it. In today's world the same is true for social media - if you put something out there and people see it, you can't undo that
3. Next, interpersonal communication is unrepeatable. This one might seem a little odd. Certainly, you can always repeat something you said, right? In this case, unrepeatable is getting more at the context where communication happens. You can never recreate the exact situation where you delivered a message. This is kind of like the old saying: 'You never get a second chance to make a first impression.' (Lay, 2005)
