Interpersonal communication WT-DKS-P-KI
Interpersonal communication is a fundamental mechanism for exchanging information, emotions and values, which underlies the functioning of societies. As the most perfect form of communication in the natural world, it reflects the uniqueness of man as a rational being, capable of abstract thinking, self-reflection and creative communication.
Man, being the "crown of creatures", uses communication not only for pragmatic purposes, but also to build relationships, express identity and co-create culture. Interpersonal communication processes - both verbal and non-verbal - shape social dynamics, influencing the development of civilization, political, economic and technological changes.
The modern world, dominated by digital media and global information exchange networks, gives communication a new dimension. Despite this, its basic functions - such as transferring knowledge, building trust or resolving conflicts - remain unchanged. The study of communication mechanisms allows us to understand both individual behaviors and broad social processes, which makes this field crucial for psychology, sociology, philosophy and even business and politics.
Therefore, the analysis of interpersonal communication is not only about learning the tools of effective dialogue, but also about discovering the universal regularities that govern human cooperation, social influence and the evolution of civilization.
