Define and describe the nature of communication in detail?

Answer 1

The nature of communication is the exchange of information between two people. It is required that there be both a sender and a receiver for communication to take place. Communication is reciprocal. So at any time the sender is sending a message the receiver is also sending messages.

Effective communication entails the sender encoding a message and transmitting it to the receiver where the receiver successfully decodes the message.

So, in English! In your head you know what you want to say. So you put it into words in a language you know and you "send it" to your receiver. You can send it through talking, posting it on a message board, sending an e-mail, etc. This goes through a channel which can have "noise" which interferes with the message. Your receiver gets the message and "decodes" it. If this is done successfully they will understand your message. Things that might hinder this would be if the other person doesn't speak the same language as you.
