Global communication, as the name indicates, is the communication that occurs between different people, communities and groups all over the world simultaneously. Communication is “[a]ny act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about that person’s needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states” (Adnan). Communication can take place in any form. It may be linguistic or symbolic. Global communication is too important in order to keep the relationship between the countries in the enormous world. Global communication is used in all parts of a country such as governments, companies, and small groups. In addition, it has a huge impact on the globalization in the last ten years.

“Communication is at the heart of everything, from how we create and maintain relationships to how we generate and distribute messages and information in our communities, in the workplace and around the world” (“Global Communication”). Communication between small groups and individuals has improved manifolds with the immense use of the social media websites as Facebook as Twitter. The recent political crises in Lebanon and Egypt can to much extent, be attributed to the debate and consensus building among communities that have formed on Facebook and Twitter.
