Communication is a process of transferring information from one entity to another. Communication may be defined as the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, art and other methods. Communication can be perceived as a two-way process in which there is an exchange and progression of thoughts, feelings or ideas.
