Our individual acts of communication are how each of us makes sense of reality. The way individuals interact in families is reproduced within the formal and informal organizations in their lives. These groups construct the institutions comprising the communities composing the diverse cultures and societies constituting our nations and our world. As the dominant species on earth, our habitual ways of interacting are imprinted on the planetary systems, reflecting our choices. Witness global warming amid global whining.
Communication spins the web of life.
All life is interactive. How we communicate with ourselves and with others produces the nature of where we live and breath and have our being. Senders as receivers interacting generate everything. Our interactions create our realities, Conflicts can stem from encoding and decoding errors or assumptions. A filtering system has evolved to help us humans deal with sensory overload.
