Meaning given to this message as the receiver interprets the message. Communication lets learn more about our self and the other word around us, share experience with others, persuade and influence other. We can say communication is a information flow, people place meaning and structure on the variety of message received from others.


Q.2. Define and give an example of verbal, nonverbal and graphic communication.

Ans. Communication- in the work place occurs for a number of directs and indirect reasons. Primarily it is necessary for passing information between people working in the same organization and between their organization and other.

Communication is classified in three forms.

A. Verbal communication- verbal communication also known as spoken a written communication. In that communication we can take the form of spoken words between two or more people, or written words in written communication. Verbal communication is further divided into written and oral communication. The oral communication refers to the spoken words in the communication process. Oral communication can either be face-to-face communication or a conversation over the phone or on the voice chat over the Internet. Spoken conversations or dialogs are influenced by voice modulation, pitch, volume and even the speed and clarity of speaking. The other type of verbal communication is written communication. Written communication can be either via snail mail, or email. The effectiveness of written communication depends on the style of writing, vocabulary used, grammar, clarity and precision of language.

B. Nonverbal communication- That communication occur in oral, written and graphics communication, and in oral communication. Non-verbal communication includes the overall body language of the person who is speaking, which will include the body posture, the hand gestures, and overall body movements. The facial expressions also play a major role while communication since the expressions on a person’s face say a lot about his/her mood. On the other hand gestures like a handshake, a smile or a hug can independently convey emotions. Non verbal communication can also be in the form of pictorial representations, signboards, or even photographs, sketches and paintings.

C. Graphic Communication-Graphic communication is an idea that depends upon the icon. In graphic communication we can use both communications verbal and nonverbal. For example no smoking, signs display in public places, in buildings in box exit signs.


Q.3. A. defines the terms, sender, and receiver.
B. defines the term, message.
C. defines the term, feedback.
Ans. The communication process takes places in various situations for different reasons the communication process is the guide toward realizing effective communication. It is through the communication process that the sharing of a common meaning between the sender and the receiver takes place. Individuals that follow the communication process will have the opportunity to become more productive in every aspect of their profession. Effective communication leads to understanding.
Four elements of communication are explained below.

A. Sender- 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. 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.
B. Receiver- The receiver is the individual or individuals to whom the message is directed. The extent to which this person comprehends the message will depend on a number of factors, which include the following: how much the individual or individuals know about the topic, their receptivity to the message, and the relationship and trust that exists between sender and receiver. All interpretations by the receiver are influenced by their experiences, attitudes, knowledge, skills, perceptions, and culture. It is similar to the sender's relationship with encoding.
C. Message-the message is the idea or concept that transmitted by sender to receiver to achieve understanding .it makes a connection between sender and receiver.
D .Feedback- Feedback is the final link in the chain of the communication process. After receiving a message, the receiver responds in some way and signals that response to the sender. The signal may take the form of a spoken comment, a long sigh, a written message, a smile, or some other action. "Even a lack of response, is in a sense, a form of response. Without feedback, the sender cannot confirm that the receiver has interpreted the message correctly.
Feedback is a key component in the communication process because it allows the sender to evaluate the effectiveness of the message. Feedback ultimately provides an opportunity for the sender to take corrective action to clarify a misunderstood message. "Feedback plays an important role by indicating significant communication barriers: differences in background, different interpretations of words, and differing emotional reactions.


Q.4. A. Define the term ‘perception’
B. lists the four factors that may influence the perception.
Ans. A. Perception- perception is a the way people understand or give meaning to their environment Perception can be defined as attaching significance to visual information. It entails a higher level of neural processing than the contrast, motion, and orientation processing done to the visual signal in the primary visual cortex. Perceptual processes include but are not limited to identifying faces, judging relative sizes of objects, naming colors, and the initiation of fear responses to organisms or situations perceived as threatening. The important thing to remember about perception is that it’s “in the eye of the beholder”: actually, it’s not in the eye at all, but in the brain, in areas associated with vision in the parietal and temporal lobes. Perception is an essentially constructive process. People do not see the world in the same way a mirror reflects the world; their brains create their perception of the world through processes that are not entirely predictable.
B. Four factors that’s influence the perception-the particular or specific meaning is influenced by passed experience. Even the context or setting of the communication affects perception.
1. Self concept
2. Experience
3. Culture
4. Feelings

Official conferences, meetings and written memos and corporate letters are used for communication. Formal communication can also occur between two strangers when they meet for the first time. Hence formal communication is straightforward, official and always precise and has a stringent and rigid tone to it. Informal Communication -Informal communication includes instances of free unrestrained communication between people who share a casual rapport with each other. Informal communication requires two people to have a similar wavelength and hence occurs between
