Demonstrative Communication

Transferring information from one person to another or from one person to and entire group of people is known as communication. The information that is exchanged comes from the ideas, views, or beliefs of the sender. The sender then passes that information on to the receiver who takes in the information and then provides feedback to the sender. The best way to communicate effectively is when the sender and receiver have a mutual understanding of the information being exchanged.

The best way to achieve a mutual understanding of the information is to present the information in a clear and properly formatted manner.
