Hello,

The Characteristics of communication are

• Communication involves at least two persons-the senders and the receiver.
• It involves the transfer of ideas, facts, emotions, gestures, symbols, and action from sender to receiver.
• Understanding is an essential component of communication, that is, the ideas, opinions, emotions and so on, conveyed should be accurately replicated in the receivers’ mind.
• Communication may be intentional or unintentional.
• The purpose of communication is to elicit action, inform or to express a certain point of view.
• Communication is a two-way process, that is, feedback from the receiver to the sender is an essential component of communication.
• Communication is a dynamic process, that is, it grows and develops.
• Communication is systematic, that is, every component of the process is affected by every other component. For example, if there is a fault in the telephone (channel of communication), it will affect the message received by the receiver.
