From the Paper:

"Humans communicate one with another in myriad ways each day; from verbal interactions, to written missives, and even non-verbal reactions, communication is one aspect of life that no person can allow a day to pass without engaging in. Since communication helps us define ourselves; our wants, needs, and expectations to others; what constitutes effective communication? As John Dewey once noted, "There is all the difference in the world between having something to say and having to say something." (www.motivational-inspirational-corner.com) Throughout the course of this paper, then, I will explore what it is that constitutes effective communication. There are a wide number of sources of noise or interference that can enter into the communication process. This can occur when people now each other very well and should understand the sources of error."
