You Cannot Not Communicate.
[Discuss]
Communication can be defined as the exchange of ideas, opinions and information through written or spoken words, symbols or actions. With that definition in mind let us now discuss why it is impossible for humans not to communicate. Firstly, it is impossible not to communicate as man is a multi-dimensional being that must interact.

Most people think of communication in external, intentional, voluntary and between individual terms only. However, our brain is constantly communicating with our organs internally, monitoring heart-rate, and body temperature, balance, analyzing information from our environment and constantly making adjustment internally for us to survive in our external environment. The very sweat from heat communicates the fact that we are hot and may prompt a stranger to offer us water or a ride on a hot day. Fear, anger, confusion are similarly communicated not so much by speech but by our internal or individual responses to external stimuli, most of the time without our direct involvement, or total consciousness. Fear; is communicated through our posture, our eyes, a quiver in our voice, sweat on our brows. Anger; in the set of our jaw, a strain on our vocal cords, our breathing our decisions. Love, by our
