The Importance Of Verbally And Nonverbal Communication

Communicating is essential to humanity, but most important for a relationship to be able to succeed there must be communication.

Furthermore, nonverbal communication can be as simple as a gesture or a pose, and verbal communication is any words that it’s said to send a message (Seccombe, 2015). Communicating is like starting a transaction, where there is a constant sending and receiving of some kind of information; communication can be active and also can vary within cultures, race, ethnicity and sex (Seccombe, 2015). A very important factor on how people acquire an interpretation or meaning of the message is the family of orientation of each individual (Seccombe, 2015).
