Communication involves the sharing of meaning through symbolic cues. There are four main types of communication: intrapersonal, interpersonal, public, and mass communication. Intrapersonal communication refers to how we communicate with ourselves through self-talk, thinking, dreaming, praying, and meditation. Interpersonal communication occurs between people through verbal and non-verbal messages and involves areas like listening, negotiation, problem-solving, decision making, and assertiveness. Public communication refers to speeches delivered to audiences to entertain, persuade, or inform. Mass communication uses various media technologies to communicate with large audiences.
