There are different levels of communication.

Content, Context, Character and Control.

Content is the subject of what you are talking about. An example being a typical work conversation. We want something this wide by this high, or we need to do this this and this. The important part of the conversation is those numbers or directions, this is what we listen out for.

Context is the reason why you are having the conversation and its place in the relationship. Why are you talking and what your really talking about.

There is also a part of the conversation that is about character. Who are you and the person your talking to. Your beliefs will come across. As will your outlook on life, what your stand for, your purpose, your stage in life etc.

Control is who is leading who is following. A great example of control is an advertisement on television. On the ad they have a picture of someone who could be you, doing something that you could be doing. They are creating a familiar scene. Then all of a sudden something comes in, a product or a service. And life changes for the better.

In all this, control of the interaction has gone from you to the television. And phrases are used asking you to buy make a phone call etc, and telling you what a smart decision you have made. Because the television has control and it is now giving you commands.

This has been put down because its will be referred to in future.
