Explain why communication is a process.

What will be an ideal response?


- Communication is a process involving a series of actions having no beginning or end and is constantly changing. Communication involves variables that cannot be duplicated in exactly the same way. The interrelationships among people, environments, skills, attitudes, status, experiences, and feelings all determine communication at any given moment. Communication and the changes it produces might not have a clearly identifiable beginning or end. This enables us to see how events and relationships constantly change yet also have continuity.
