ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Communication studies

Communication studies is when we learn about how people talk to each other, what they say, and how they say it. Imagine you are playing hide and seek with your friends and you want to tell them where you are hiding. You need to use your words so they can understand you. This is an example of communication.

Communication studies is when we learn how to understand people better by looking at how they communicate. It can be in different ways - talking, writing, facial expressions, or body language. It can also be a group of people communicating or just two people.

We learn about how communication can be good or bad, and why it matters. Good communication can help solve problems, make friends, and make us happier. Bad communication can make us feel confused, hurt or angry. We also learn about different types of communication, like public speaking, social media, and even the way people show emotions through their faces or tone of voice.

Overall, communication studies teaches us how to connect with people better by becoming more aware and better at communicating ourselves. It's like a superpower that can help us understand the world and the people in it.
