Communication is an essential foundation for the human life in which we can interact face to face, via the internet, or through symbols to create and interpret meanings. It’s an important skill, and through the interpersonal communication (communication between two or more people) process, we can develop and sustain relationships. The context of the “Martian Child” movie has many great concepts of communication knowledge and skills, such as: listening, perception, person-centeredness, constructivism, artifacts, hypothetical thought, nonverbal communication, and many more that relate to interpersonal communication and its effects on a variety of relationships.

He kept an electronic game with him, that is supposedly from Mars, and relied on saying “Trans fobo medio” with a loud volume (paralanguage; communication that is vocal but not actual words(Wood, 2015)) to help demonstrate and emphasize his recognition and identity. His ability to abstract and think distortedly allowed him to transcend and enter the conceptual thoughts and ideas world where he adapted to Mar’s culture. In like manner of how humans use symbols to help organize their perceptions, Dennis relied on his personal belongings and his own way of communicating to allow others to perceive and recognize (awareness that another person exists and is present (Wood, 2015)) him as a Martian.

As a matter of fact, David was able to comprehend more than the obvious constructs of Dennis’s behaviors as a distinct boy who require special attention, and rather, empathized (empathy; ability to feel with another person (Wood, 2015)) with him. For example, when Dennis went up to the roof of a building because his mission was over and wanted to go back “home,” David, figured where he’d be, and went there.
