What are the four levels of communication?

The concept of "four levels of communication" is not a widely recognized or standardized model in communication theory. However, you might be referring to the four basic communication styles, often described as:

1. Assertive: This style is characterized by direct, honest, and respectful communication. Individuals clearly express their needs and feelings while also respecting the needs and feelings of others.

2. Aggressive: This style focuses on getting one's own way, often at the expense of others. It involves being domineering, forceful, and sometimes even hostile.

3. Passive: This style avoids direct communication and often suppresses feelings. Individuals may be agreeable on the surface but harbor resentment or frustration.

4. Passive-Aggressive: This style is characterized by indirect communication and subtle aggression. Individuals may use sarcasm, sabotage, or avoidance to express their dissatisfaction.

It's important to note that these are simplified categorizations, and real-life communication is more complex. People may exhibit a combination of styles depending on the situation and their personality.

There are other ways to categorize communication, such as:

* Intrapersonal: Communication with oneself, including thoughts, feelings, and internal dialogue.

* Interpersonal: Communication between two or more people.

* Group: Communication among a small group of people.

* Mass: Communication through media channels to reach a large audience.

If you have a specific context in mind, please provide more information so I can help you understand the different levels of communication relevant to your query.
