How to select or highlight a block in Emacs?

Question

I want to select or highlight a block in emacs without using mouse but doing it from the keyboard like vim\'s visual mode. What is the easiest way to do this from a keyboard

To expand answer of Edin Salkovic, if you use CUA mode, you can use to begin a visual block selection. There are plenty of shortcuts to control block selection described in documentation of CUA.
