Communication is the process of sharing messages to generate meaning and occurs in a specific context or situation. It involves a source, message, channel, receiver, feedback, codes, encoding, decoding, and can be impacted by noise. Key components of communication are the source who initiates the message, the message itself which can be verbal or nonverbal, and the receiver who is the intended target. There are various contexts of communication including intrapersonal, interpersonal, public, and mass communication. Effective communication considers factors such as the relationship between individuals, quantity does not determine quality, and communication is irreversible.
