21. Activity

22. Communication
is simply the act of transferring information from one
place, person or group to another (SkillsYouNeed,
2020). It is the process of sending and receiving
messages through verbal or nonverbal means,
including speech, or oral communication; writing and
graphical representations (such as infographics,
maps, and charts); and signs, signals, and behavior
(Nordquist, 2020).

23. The Communication Process

24. Eight Essential
Components of
Communication

25. 1. Source
The source imagines, creates, and sends the
message. In a public speaking situation, the
source is the person giving the speech. He or she
conveys the message by sharing new information
with the audience. The speaker also conveys a
message through his or her tone of voice, body
language, and choice of clothing. This process of
turning thoughts into communication is called
encoding.

26. 2. Message
The message is the stimulus or meaning produced
by the source for the receiver or audience. When
you plan to give a speech or write a report, your
message may seem to be only the words you
choose that will convey your meaning. But that is
just the beginning. The words are brought
together with grammar and organization.

27. 3. Channel
The channel is the way in which a message or
messages travel between source and receiver (What Is
Communication?, 2012). There are multiple
communication channels available to us today. These
include face-to-face conversations, letters, telephone
calls, text messages, email, the Internet (including
social media such as Facebook and Twitter), blogs,
tweets radio and TV, written letters, brochures and
reports (SkillsYouNeed, 2020) and so forth.

28. 4. Receiver
The receiver receives the message from the
source, analyzing and interpreting the message in
ways both intended and unintended by the
source. In order to receive a message, she or he
listens, sees, touches, smells, and/or tastes to
receive a message. The process of turning
communication into thoughts is called decoding.
The receiver decodes the message.

29. 5. Feedback
When the receiver responds to the source,
intentionally or unintentionally, she/he is giving
feedback. Feedback is composed of messages the
receiver sends back to the source. Verbal or
nonverbal, all these feedback signals allow the
source to see how well, how accurately (or how
poorly and inaccurately) the message was
received.

30. 6. Environment
The environment is the atmosphere, physical and
psychological, where an individual sends and receives
messages. This can include the tables, chairs, lighting,
and sound equipment that are in the room. The room
itself is an example of the environment. The
environment can also include factors like formal dress
that may indicate whether a discussion is open and
caring or more professional and formal.

31. 7. Context
The context of the communication interaction
involves the setting, scene, and expectations
of the individuals involved. A professional
communication context may involve business
suits (environmental cues) that directly or
indirectly influence expectations of language
and behavior among the participants.

32. 8. Interference or noise
This is anything that blocks or changes the
source’s intended meaning of the message. For
example, if you drove a car to work or school,
chances are you were surrounded by noise.
Car horns, billboards, or perhaps the radio in
your car interrupted your thoughts, or your
conversation with a passenger

33. Media and
information influence
to communication

34. Media and information technology play a
vital role in globalization. Through these,
we become connected to different people
around the world.

35. Media, particularly social media provides
great ways to connect, interact, and
communicate with friends and family while
living separately. We can share pictures,
videos, and some information with our
friends who are far away from us.

36. WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA?
Social media is the collective of online
communications channels dedicated to
community-based input, interaction,
content-sharing and collaboration.

37. Through social media, you can make strong
your existing relationships and can make
new friends from all over the world through
different social networking websites. Social
media reduce the barriers to communication
and make it easier for everyone to express
their thoughts to the world.

38. Indeed, as technology grows and
expands our range of communication,
media is becoming a vital tool for daily
social interaction.

39. While media can be a good
channel for communication and
a good source of information,
they also pose some threats to
users. Among these are as
follows.

40. 1. Media becomes a source of
misinformation and fake news.
These sometimes are utilized to push
personal gain and agenda, making
the receiver of the information
deceived, confused, and misinformed.

41. 2. Though media help us improve
the way we communicate; it is
also abused by many. Everybody
publishes whatever they want and
unmindful of the consequences of
their posts.

42. Social media made everyone feel that
they are allowed to say whatever
comes to their mind, making them
say things that they would not
normally say in personal encounters,
thus fueling bullying.

43. 3. Media can also pose medical, social
and psychological issues. What is
posted on media may cause
dissatisfaction with body image,
creates addiction, promote identity
stealing and can destroy
interpersonal relationships.
