What does communication mean to you?

To me, communication is the use of any outlet--language, art, music, etc.--to establish a common understanding between two individuals/parties. Finding a mode of communication with another individual can be challenging, but I believe it is possible to connect with anybody, no matter the race, language, or disability. Language is, in my opinion, the most effective mode of communication. It transcends all other forms of communication in that it forces full immersion in a foreign culture. While language requires more effort and time, I believe it allows us to step inside the shoes of a foreigner and thus create a stronger, more intimate relationship with people.
