Defining Communication

Read the article below.  
Helping Clients Improve Communication Skills 
Perhaps the most valuable life skill that leads to personal and professional success is the ability to communicate assertively. Especially in this current climate in our country, in which we are exposed everyday to more and more brashness and insensitivity, going over the basics of healthy and respectful assertive communication will help therapists and clients alike in improving their own corner of the world.
Teaching our clients how to effectively communicate and offering guidelines to differentiate between assertive, aggressive and non-assertive communication can provide skills that will improve the quality of their relationships with family, friends, co-workers, clients and others they encounter in everyday life.

Write a blog on how you would define assertive, aggressive, and non-assertive communication.  Give examples of each type of communication.
