1. Discuss the four essential elements of communication and explain their significance
in the communication process.
- When it comes to effective communication, there are four essential
elements that need to be considered. These include the sender, message,
medium, and the receiver. The sender is the person who initiates the
communication, while the message is the information that needs to be
conveyed. The medium is the channel through which the message is
transmitted, and the receiver is the person who receives and interprets the
message. All of these elements need to be carefully considered and
managed in order to ensure that communication is successful and achieves
its intended purpose.
3. Examine the role of feedback in the communication process. How does feedback
contribute to effective communication, and what are the potential challenges in
giving and receiving feedback? Provide real-life examples to illustrate your points.
- Feedback is important when communicating either verbal or non-verbal
because it shows that the receiver understood the message sent by the
sender. Giving and receiving feedback can be challenging for a number of
reasons, Feedback can be hard to give in a way that is clear and specific,
making it difficult for the receiver to understand what they need to do
differently, feedback can be perceived as criticism, which can be difficult for
some people to hear. For example, you’re with your phone to call your mom
because you don't understand what she is saying in text.
