Just delivering a message is not enough; it must meet the purpose of the
sender. Keeping this in mind, let us discuss the elements which make
communication effective:

 Clear Message: The message which the sender wants to convey

must be simple, easy to understand and systematically framed to
retain its meaningfulness.
 Correct Message: The information communicated must not be vague
or false in any sense; it must be free from errors and grammatical
mistakes.
 Complete Message: Communication is the base for decision making.
If the information is incomplete, it may lead to wrong decisions.
 Precise Message: The message sent must be short and concise to
facilitate straightforward interpretation and take the desired steps.
 Reliability: The sender must be sure from his end that whatever he is
conveying is right by his knowledge. Even the receiver must have trust
on the sender and can rely on the message sent.
 Consideration of the Recipient: The medium of communication and
other physical settings must be planned, keeping in mind the attitude,
language, knowledge, education level and position of the receiver.
 Sender’s Courtesy: The message so drafted must reflect the
sender’s courtesy, humbleness and respect towards the receiver.

4.Discuss the history of communication from ancient to modern times.

The history of communication technologies (media and appropriate inscription tools) have evolved

in tandem with shifts in political and economic systems, and by extension, systems of power.
Communication can range from very subtle processes of exchange, to full conversations and mass
communication. The history of communication itself can be traced back since the origin of
speech circa 500,000 BCE[citation needed]. The use of technology in communication may be considered
since the first use of symbols about 30,000 years BCE. Among the symbols used, there are cave
paintings, petroglyphs, pictograms and ideograms. Writing was a major innovation, as well
as printing technology and, more recently, telecommunications.

The communication process is made up of four key components. Those components

include encoding, medium of transmission, decoding, and feedback. There are also
two other factors in the process, and those two factors are present in the form of the
sender and the receiver. The communication process begins with the sender and ends
with the receiver.

The sender is an individual, group, or organization who initiates the communication. This source is
initially responsible for the success of the message. The sender's experiences, attitudes, knowledge, skill,
perceptions, and culture influence the message. "The written words, spoken words, and nonverbal
language selected are paramount in ensuring the receiver interprets the message as intended by the
sender" (Burnett & Dollar, 1989). All communication begins with the sender.

The first step the sender is faced with involves the encoding process. In order to
convey meaning, the sender must begin encoding, which means translating
information into a message in the form of symbols that represent ideas or concepts.
This process translates the ideas or concepts into the coded message that will be
communicated. The symbols can take on numerous forms such as, languages, words,
or gestures. These symbols are used to encode ideas into messages that others can
understand.

When encoding a message, the sender has to begin by deciding what he/she wants to
transmit. This decision by the sender is based on what he/she believes about the
receivers knowledge and assumptions, along with what additional information he/she
wants the receiver to have. It is important for the sender to use symbols that are
familiar to the intended receiver. A good way for the sender to improve encoding their
message, is to mentally visualize the communication from the receiver's point of view.
