Q

o Communication process is CIRCULAR because each communication takes on both roles of sender and receiver.
o SENDER encodes a message, transmitted in the form of signal
o RECEIVER decodes the message and responds by encoding another signal even before the sender has completely sent the message.
o Communication is therefore FLUID since the sending and the receiving is simultaneous.
o It contains FIELDS OF EXPERIENCES
o The overlap of the sender and receiver’s field of communication is the SHARED AREA
o FEEDBACK helps solve the problem because it allows the sender to modify info from what he observes from the receivers.
