Resumen
This paper will try to demonstrate that we all need to learn how to use properly the word communication. But, meanwhile, we can begin to use good communication each time we really want to talk about communication or we really want to communicate with others, be they close to us of far away. Ignorance, violence and lies are among the most important enemies of good communication. On the contrary, knowledge of the �things of the world� is the best resource in order to use good communication for understanding and solving international and intercultural conflicts. Without good communication we can not have good citizens, good life and good city. The problem of good communication � how to conceive it and how to practice it � is not only one of the most relevant ethical issue; it is an epistemological issue as well. Very much connected to what recently has been written extensively by prominent sociologists like: Elihu Katz (�Why sociology abandoned communication�), Dominique Wolton (�IL faut sauver la communication�), John D. Peters (�Courting the abyss�), Michael Schudson (�The good citizen�)� And we must not forget that three are the most important masters of good communication: Socrates, Jesus, Machiavelli.
