Q1. What are the different types of Communication?
Communication, to put it in simple words is transfer of knowledge. People employ
various ways to communicate such that they convey an idea or emotion to someone. Mankind has come a long way in terms of progress, simply because we have developed some of most complex mode of communication which exist. The type of communication chosen greatly depends on what a person wants to convey. The choice of mode of communication and the style with which one communicates also in turn affects the communication. There are 3 types of communication: 1.Verbal Communication: When we convey an idea using our speech, it is termed as verbal communication. It could be in person, on a voice call or a video call. It can be informal or Formal depending on the occasion. Irrespective of the type, the caliber and complexity of the words and the arrangement of the same determines the effectiveness of the communication. A simple change of tone can also alter the meaning of a spoken sentence dramatically. It is a very powerful tool of communication if delivered properly can even influence large gatherings. 2.Written Communication: The main goal of written communication is to decimate information in a clear and concise manner. Therefore, the art of writing and writing skills often form crucial aspects in a written communication. The objective is to eliminate confusion. An essential thing to keep in mind with regards to written communication is that it lives on. It does not get destroyed as soon as it is delivered. So one needs to ensure that any form of written communication is well constructed and conveys something which you actually want to be associated with. 3.Non-Verbal Communication: on Verbal communication involves use of posture, eye contact hand movements and facial expressions, touch etc. Your nonverbal communications can convey a lot and one should be aware of them especially in a formal setting. It is also important to pay attention to the nonverbal signals sent by the person you are engaging in a conversation with. Q2. Discuss the various barriers to communication There exist many hurdles in the process of communication. Parties involved in the process of communication need to ensure that these barriers do not come in way of effective communication These are: Physical barriers: Environmental factors like sounds coming from fireworks, construction activities, handloom industries can disrupt the process of communication especially verbal as it causes problems hearing what a person wants to say/communicate. Authorities need to ensure that physical barriers don not affect the efficiency of communication in their organization. Semantic/Language barriers: Due to diversity that we observe in languages, Language can become a huge barrier especially in a country like India. Apart from this the semantics or jargons used by the communicator render the message ineffective for the receiver. Physiological barriers: The limitations of human body and mind can cause obstruction in the process of communication. Some people who have problems with hearing or speech can find it hard to communicate their ideas. Mental disabilities like dyslexia can also be a major hurdle in the process of communication. Attitude barriers: If the listener is not in the mood to discuss anything due to his own emotions or personal differences with the speaker, the communication won’t be effective despite all the efforts put in by sender. Cultural Barriers: What is considered appropriate in one culture may not be so in other. Individuals need to be aware not to stereotype or offend the person the person they are communicating with. Status barriers: It can become a hurdle to communicate within levels in an organization where hierarchy is followed strictly. Authorities may be unwilling to listen to the ideas conveyed by their subordinate and this can create obstacles in the communication process. Resistance to change: People with orthodox views may reject the ideas of a younger bunch of people as they have a traditional mindsets which are difficult to alter by younger people who usually bring out fresh perspectives.This barrier has the potential to hinder the progess of an organization when Higher experienced management aren’t willing consider the contributions by newer ,younger employees. Lack of mutual trust: Communication might breakdown if either party does not show trust or has a record of not fulfilling the agreed upon terms especially during negotiations. Lack of trustworthiness plays a huge share for this form of barrier to take place. Time shortage, communication overheads, assumptions: A critical idea may get overlooked in events of urgency. High level decisions made but not communicated to the team can cause unnecessary delays and confusion. Possible misinterpretation due to assumptions can cause results which are drastically different from what was expected.
