Three Types of Communication /Gender Roles & Communication / What can you do? / FAQ

Communication basically means people sending and receiving messages to each other. There are many different ways people send and receive messages. Here are just a few:

  • Texting
  • Emails
  • Instant Messaging (MSN, facebook, etc.)
  • Phone
  • Regular Mail
