People communicate through many ways. They communicate with themselves, wit another person, wit groups, with organizations and across culture.






People communicate with themselves:Intrapersonal communication



-Speaking aloud (talking to oneself), reading aloud, repeating what one hears; the additional activities of speaking and hearing (in the third case of hearing again) what one thinks, reads or hears may increase concentration and retention. This is considered normal, and the extent to which it occurs varies from person to person.


People communicate with another person: Interpersonal communication



-This communication happens usually between two people, it could be lovers, friends, parents and more.communication scholars in numerous ways, though most definitions involve participants who are interdependent on one another, have a shared history.


People communicate with groups: groups dynamic


Group dynamics is the study of groups, and also a general term for group processes. Relevant to the fields of psychology, sociology and communication studies, a group is two or more individuals who are connected to each other by social relationships. Because they interact and influence each other, groups develop a number of dynamic processes that separate them from a random collection of individuals. These processes include norms, roles, relations, development, need to belong, social influence, and effects on behavior. The field of group dynamics is primarily concerned with small group behavior. Groups may be classified as aggregate, primary, secondary and category groups
