    Assignment 1: Preliminary Concepts

    1. What is communication?

    Communication is an act that conveys information from one person to another that usually
    involves humans every day. The purpose of it is to create a shared knowledge. Communication comes
    from the Latin word "communis", which means "to share". It can be in the form of verbal, non-verbal, or
    electronic communication.

    2. Elements of Communication

    In order to convey information from communication, there are different elements composing the
    interaction.

    • Sender (Communicator): A person or object that initiates the communication process by forming
    ideas, feelings, and intentions that will be transferred. They’re mainly the entities that want to
    initiate the process of information. Also, the sender encodes and sends the effective message to
    the receiver through appropriate channels.

    • Encoding: A process that converts the subject matter into communication symbols and language
    for the receiver to understand the message. These symbols can be written, sign language,
    actions, or other non-verbal methods. In encoding, the sender’s skills, knowledge, ideas, and
    thoughts have a great effect on the process of communication.

    • Messaging: If the sender is the main source of the communication, the message is the main
    body of the communication process. It can be in the form of verbal, non-verbal, or symbolic
    language. Communication is incomplete without this element.

    • Decoding: It is a process where the receiver tends to interpret or translate the message that
    he/she/they got from the sender. A successful communication depends on when the decoder
    exactly receives the message in the same way that the sender wants to send it.

    • Receiver: also called a decoder, it is a person or group who receives or decodes the message
    sent by the sender.

    • Feedback: Feedback is what the receiver replies to or a return message to the sender. It is the
    most important element of communication because it will show if the receiver clearly got the
    message and understood it.

    3. Levels of Communication

    • Intrapersonal Communication
    It is a level of communication in which you are communicating with yourself. One can be
    both the sender and the receiver at the same time. Of it is hearing yourself talk, feeling about
    yourself more and thinking.
    • Inter-personal Communication
    Inter-personal communication means having an interaction between two different
    individuals. This level of communication happens when you are communicating directly with other
    people.
    • Public Communication
    A level of communication that takes place in a situation where many people receive
    messages largely from one source. like in a movie, television, a speech, advertisements and
    more.
    • Mass Communication
    A type of public communication transmitted through electronic or mechanical means. It
    can be in the form of books, magazines, newspapers, etc.
    • Small Group Communication
    Within an organization, group contact leads to decision-making, problem-solving, and
    discussion. A small group can be formal or informal, and it can be a team or a group.

    4. Principles of Communication

    1. Conciseness- a message should be conveyed in the shortest amount of time possible. The
    information must be expressed completely in such a way that it is straight to the point. With this
    principle, it will help to minimize the cost and consume time as well.
    2. Clarity- a principle of communication that is used to give clear information to help the receiver
    easily understand the given message or idea. This is helpful in a verbal way or in writing.
    3. Correctness- the notion of accuracy covers the standards for proper or accurate communication.
    If the message is correct, it has a significant impact and increases the sender's confidence. As a
    result, proper language usage is critical for effective communication, and it also boosts the
    sender-receiver trust factor.
    4. Concreteness- states that the message should be on point, specific, and clear instead of being
    general. This principle of communication includes facts and figures to strengthen the message or
    idea.
    5. Completeness- Communication is said to be effective if the conversation is complete. It means
    that all the information, messages, and feedback are all received and sent by the recipients. If the
    conversation begins to be more complex, messages need to have additional information or be
    elaborated more so that the audience won’t doubt anything.
    6. Courteousness- a type of principle where the sender should have a good manner and show
    some respect to the audience or receiver while communicating. The sender must take care of his
    or her own and the receiver’s feelings to have a positive and unbiased discussion.
    7. Coherence- a conversation must be coherent and consistent. The main purpose of it is to make
    all the messages interconnected and relevant to the message being conveyed. This will maintain
    the flow of communication.

    5. Functions or Purposes of Communication

    • Regulation or Control- used in order to control the behaviour of people. Also, to regulate the
    nature and number of activities that people engage in.
    • Social Interaction- this purpose is to develop and build social connections and relationships.
    • Motivation- one of the functions of communication that helps to stimulate our preferences,
    desires, needs, wants, decisions, goals, and strengths.
    • Information- function used for collecting, capturing, and sharing information.
