Delve into the field of communication studies, which is a discipline that deals with human communication and behavior. The term communication refers chiefly to three types of communication: verbal (the sharing of information through speech), written (involving any type of message communicated through the written word), and nonverbal (communication without words, such as body language). Different types of communication include talking, typing an email, or smiling.
Communication studies stretches as far back as ancient Greece, when the study of rhetoric, the art of persuading others through public speaking, was considered an essential part of education. This classical tradition influenced the development of classes in rhetoric and oratory in the United States in the early 19th century. It became a more scientific field of study in the mid-20th century as scholars attempted to better understand the power of communication to influence others.

Communication studies straddles the fields of the social sciences and the humanities in its interest in both the methods of communicating as well as how messages are interpreted through political, cultural, economic, semiotic, hermeneutic, and social contexts. Since communication is ubiquitous in society, the application of communication studies is quite broad. Communication studies is often incorporated in other fields of study, such as journalism, film criticism, theater, public relations, and political science as well as a range of media such as radio, television, and film. Intercultural communication, which is a form of communication that aims to share information across different cultures and social groups, is becoming increasingly important in a global society.
Major organizations associated with communication studies include the Association for Business Communication, the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication, the International Communication Association, and the National Association for Media Literacy Education.

THE KID had its world premiere one hundred years ago today, on January 21, 1921 at Carnegie Hall in New York City in a pre-public subscription showing as part of a benefit for the Children’s Fund of the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures. A milestone in his artistry, THE KID was Charles Chaplin’s first full-length film as a director and his most ambitious production to date.
Chaplin created something completely new with THE KID. Films were either dramas, or comedies – but here, as in life, the two were combined in the most natural seeming way. Chaplin wrote in his autobiography that “there had been satire, farce, realism, naturalism, melodrama and fantasy, but raw slapstick and sentiment, the premise of THE KID, was something of an innovation.” He recalled being told by an industry professional, “It won’t work. The form must be pure, either slapstick or drama; you cannot mix them, otherwise one element of your story will fail.” But Chaplin followed his intuition, the film was an instant success, and the cinema industry never looked back.

In February 1921, the Morning Telegraph noted that “THE KID will live when other pictures have died. Its pathos is universal in its appeal. Its humor is classic. Chaplin is a humanitarian. He understands the hearts of the irresponsible, the children and the willing failures of the world. The joys of THE KID cannot be catalogued, they must be seen.”
THE KID is still a hit with audiences 100 years on. It is no surprise that the honorary Academy Award presented to Chaplin in 1972 was for the incalculable effect he had had in making motion pictures the art form of the 20th century. In 2011, THE KID was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
