BARRIERS OF COMMUNICATION

Let’s start by knowing what is communication?

“Communication is the process of transferring thoughts, ideas and information from one person or one place to another by words, writing or by gestures”

There are many types of communication such as:

·         Spoken or Verbal Communication: face-to-face, through Television, Radio or other media.

·         Visualisation: using visuals to share ones ideas and views. Such as maps or presentations.

·         Non-verbal Communication: Body language, Expressions, Way of dressing.

This looks very simple that we can communicate with everyone and anytime we want to, However in the process of communication there are some points which effects or completely stops the process, these points are also known as Barriers in communication.

The process of communication is a message sent by sender by using any channel of communication and sent it in a coded format and when it reaches to the recipient it needs to be decode to read it.

Communication Channels is the term given to the route in which we connect with others. There are different communication stations open to us today, for example up close and personal discussions, phone calls, instant messages, email, the Internet (counting web organising, for instance, Facebook and Twitter), radio and TV, composed letters, handouts and reports to give some examples.
