Communication
The Two (2) Basic Types of Communication
Verbal and nonverbal
it can be oral and written communication.
Verbal
are signs, symbols, colors, gestures, body language, facial expression
Non-verbal
What are the 7 element of major communications process
Source
Message
Encoding
Channel
Decoding
Receiver
Feedback
is the person (or thing) attempting to share information
an origin of information
An ability to transmit this information, through a channel, to a receiver.
The source
It is simply the information you want to communicate Producing meaning has several criteria:
First, the object or the speaker has n inherent meaning, maybe through being a local celebrity.
• Second criterion would be his or her image, activing as a symbol or representation of the meaning of the object (a well-dressed, professional and successful person)
Third criterion is interpretation or derived meaning. If the object and image are successful, then audience will leave with an understanding of how to proceed toward a life of personal fulfillment.
Message
It is the process of assembling the message into a representative design with the objective of ensuring that the receiver can comprehend it.
Communication is only established when it results in both the source and the receiver understanding the same information
Encoding
An encoded message is conveyed by the source through a channel.
-There are numerous channel categories, verbal, non-verbal, or non-personal, etc.
-It could be the paper on which words are written, or the Internet acting in the client-server model that is allowing you to read these words right now.
-A good communicator is one who understands which channels to use under different circumstances. Unfortunately, there is no perfect channel. All channels have strengths and weaknesses (smartphones are great, for example, but a marriage proposal is best done in person)
Channel
This is where listening, and reading directions carefully, makes its claim to fame.
As we discussed in Encoding, communication is only successful when it results in both the source and the receiver understanding the same information
For this to happen, there can be no errors inn processing. The most common among there would be, for example, a first-grader sitting in on a lecture on different equations, i.e. decoding is impossible if the decoder cannot even understand the message.
Decoding
Ultimately, the message is delivered to the receiver.
A good communicator takes the receivers preconceptions, and frames of reference into consideration; how they will react, where common ground is shared, their sense of humor, their moral conduct, etc.
All of these things will affect how the receivers decode messages.
Receiver
A better word might be ‘reaction” or “responses”.
The source judges its success based on the feedback it receives, so pay close attention.
If Google’s servers crashed tomorrow, there would be a lot of confused sources.
The same would be true if you delivered a flawless marriage proposal, only receive a look of bewilderment and horror. Feedback is moment of reckoning. Whether things go right or wrong it serves as one of the most important learning opportunities we have.
Feedback
is (senseid) an answer or reply, or something in the nature of an answer or reply
response
is critical assessment on information produced.
feedback
The original means of mass communication were printmagazines, journals, and newspapers and their collective was already in place: publications. Soon after, radio and television were added to the mix. However, the term “publications” would not stretch to fit. Needing a term that would encompass all these means of communication, writers borrowed the term ‘media” from advertising people, and used it since then to accommodate there means of communication and even the newer ones, such as the internet.
