Communication (Some points to remember)






 -Exchange of information

- Needs at least two sides

- One side is called sender and the other is called receiver

- It can be both verbal (written or spoken) and non-verbal (use of signs, signals, colors, gesture)

-Communication process can be disturbed/distracted/interfered by different types of barriers/noises

- Basic elements consists of SENDER, RECEIVER,CHANNEL, MESSAGE,NOISE/BARRIER, ENCODING and DECODING.

SENDER: The first party that starts conversation 

RECEIVER : The second party that gets or receives the message sent/offered by the sender

-MESSAGE: The words, phrases, sentences and even gestures and signals that the sender express ton the receiver

NOISE/BARRIER: Any kind of disturbance or distraction that causes the difficulty in continuing the conversation between the sender and the receiver. Noises, barriers can be of various types.

ENCODING: The process of weaving, making, creating words, sentences, phrases or signs and signals bearing some clear theme or meaning by the sender 

 in order to offer/send to the receiver hoping that the receiver perceives the exact theme or messages the words or sentences bear exactly the same way as the sender intends to.

DECODING: The process of receiving/ perceiving/ getting the words, phrases sentences and signals which we name as message in communication terminology, deconstructing the central theme so as to act accordingly or respond to it tactfully in words or signals again.

FEEDBACK: Feedback is the response or reaction of the receiver to the message sent by the sender or source. First the receiver receives or decodes the message and then creates some words or phrases, sentences or even signals relevant to the received message and sends them back to the sender. The sent-back response or reaction in both verbal and non verbal form is called feedback.
