 Differentiate verbal and non-verbal communication

Verbal communication is when a speaker utilizes words in order to convey his/her message. Verbal communication is a vital piece to a person's human life because it narrows the gap between people. Moreover, verbal communication is very effective because it makes it possible for people to disseminate information faster while being accurate. Some examples of using verbal communication are meetings, conferences, and casual conversations. 

On the other hand, non-verbal communication refers to the collective use of movement that does not involve speaking or any type of verbal communication. In non-verbal communication, one can convey his/her message by the use of hand gestures, body language, or even facial expressions. Non-verbal communication is important especially if verbal communication is not suffice to deliver a message. One of the most prominent examples of non-verbal communication is the use of sign language.

They are part of an interdependent system or process. If one goes missing, the whole communication process will not take place. 2. Can the process of communication be completed even without the presence of a single element of communication? Why or why not? Communication is a process that requires various elements, so if one element is not present, the whole process would be inoperative. For instance, if there is no speaker, there will be no message. If there is no message, the channel and medium would be useless, so no one will be the recipient of the message. Thus, communication will not take place. 3. Cite at least one communication situation and identify the elements in the presented situation. There is an ongoing Zoom meeting between ...
