Definition of Communication To our understanding, communication is about transmitting messages from the sender to a receiver. A message could be in forms of verbal and non-verbal. Non-verbal as in photos, actions, movements and sound waves. A sender could be a group of people conveying a message or even an individual. Same goes to the receiver.
The basic model of communication
( Sender -> Encoding -> Channel -> Decoding -> Receiver ) Noise
Based from the above statement, we can conclude that the Sender creates a message/thought/idea/information and encodes in into a visible form of writing/picture/action/movement/sound waves passing it over to the receiver through a Chanel. The channel such as voice/internet/television then transmit the message to the Receiver who encodes the message before they successfully receive and understand the message.
There are several types of communication such as Interpersonal Communication, Intrapersonal Communication, Group Communication, Organizational Communication, and Mass Communication.
Thus, we have concocted that communication is vastly used in our everyday lives and living in a world without communication would just make things harder for each one of us. However, error in communication tends to happen and at times the receiver does not receive the message successfully. This situation is caused by the Noise which revolves the entire process of communication. Noise is meant such as ink splattered on the print-out, loud noise during a speech, bad television reception and many more.
Perhaps ponder for awhile and imagine how the world would be if everyone did not communicate with one another. I bet the world will not be the world today we see. Therefore, ensure to communicate appropriately and you will make a difference in all situations you face daily. For a better understanding, watch the video below. Enjoy.
