A community is made up of people who share and live together supported by communication. Communities are consolidated by sharing ideas, experiences and feelings. This is achieved through communicative interaction.

In each community there must be rules of coexistence and communication that allow mutual respect, tolerance to different points of view and ideas and the effective solution of conflicts that may arise.

Communication is an essential element for coexistence. The word communicate means "to put in common", that is, to share with others. When we communicate, we share: emotions, feelings, ideas, concepts, opinions, information, needs, orders, decisions.

Not only words serve to communicate sounds, gestures, movements, lights and signals, but they also send messages.

I invite you to know some ways to communicate:

Nonverbal language

When communication is done without words, it is known as non-verbal language. The color can be used to communicate: at the traffic light, in the colors that identify a political party or a sports team.

Gestures and body movements

Gestures and body movements communicate our moods and our attitudes. we all recognize some basic gestures like: moving your head to affirm or deny something, frowning with displeasure, shrugging your shoulders.

Some sentences and sayings refer to this type of communication. That girl talks to the body, speaks with her hands.

To establish an effective communication with our peers, not only is it necessary to take care of the words we use, but also our gestures and corporal expressions.

Not only human beings communicate. Communication is present in all living beings. Animals communicate through sounds, smells and movements.

It is said that bees inform their companions of the presence of flowers, dancing and performing certain body movements that indicate where the flowers are.

Mammals have more complex and varied forms of communication. If you have a dog or cat as a pet, you will have observed how they communicate with you and with family members. They emit different sounds to express fear, anger and pain.

In the same way they communicate with gestures and movements: they lower their heads when they scold them or show their teeth to defend themselves....
