Questions The Communication Process
Questions The Communication Process
The sender, the receivers, the message, the channel, the code and the context.
The context can be defined as every parallel element to the communication that has
an influence on it.
The code is the set of signs, gestures, sounds, images… that we use to build a
message. For example, audio, video, Morse code…
Encoding a message is the process through which the sender turns his or her ideas
into signs for the receiver, for example, when you put the information in a text or say
it in an audio.
We have the intended or planned message, the sent message and the received
message.
7. Please can you explain what the feedback is? How you can translate into Spanish.
Give a real example.
The feedback is the information that the sender obtains from the effects of the
transmitted message on the receiver. When we speak the feedback, we refer to the
reactions and opinions received from another person. Retroalimentación. An
example can be when you are talking to a friend, if you don’t have feedback, you can
feel that he’s not interested in you and you are ignored by him.
8. What does lack of empathy mean? Give a real example
Lack of capacity to put in someone else's place in order to better understand its
reactions and feelings. For example, if anyone is talking to you about an experience
and you make the situation less important because you can’t put yourself in her/his
situation.
Is the natural tendency to judge people on the basis of the first impression they
cause. For example, if you meet someone who’s good with a sport and you think that
he’s good with all sports
The psychological barriers are the previous attitudes of the interlocutors about
themselves, the messages or others. And the Philosophical barriers are resulting
from the different ways in which the sender and the receiver understand and
interpret the everyday situations that they face throughout their lives.
12. Which are the differences between communication and information? Give an
example in real life.
In information, the sender must issue a message addressed to the receiver, on the
other hand, in communication we need to add another element, the feedback, so the
sender and the receiver are active in the communication, not just the sender. For
example if you are in a conference, the sender is giving information to the public
(receiver) but in a conversation with a friend there is a communication between two
or more people.
Cultural barriers: knowledge gap between the sender and the receiver (for religion,
education…) and semantic barriers, it refer to the different interpretation given by the
sender and receiver to the same expression (costumes of the country for exemple)
