Instructions
Read, understand and answer the following questions:
- Each question is 5 pts. each.
- Each answer should not be less than 5 sentences.
- Your answer should be in Microsoft Word, Notepad or eLMS directly.
 
1. Define communication. Is it possible for us to exist without communicating with
other people? Why or why not?
The act of establishing meaning among entities or groups through the use of mutually
understood signs, symbols, and semiotic conventions is known as communication. The
following are some of the most critical aspects of communication: The process by which
communicative motivation or cause emerges. Composition of the message. It is not possible
for us to exist without communicating to other people. we all know from the very start that
no man is in Island that means no one could leave on its own, we humans should
communicate to each other. All off us should be communicating on each other in order to
live on this planet.
2. Enumerate the 5 communication principles. 
The 5 principles of communication are Clear, Concise, Concrete, Correct, Coherent.
3. Explain the 5 communication principles briefly.
Clear- Being clear gives the audience a better chance of knowing what you're doing. Being
clear with your voice, sharing stories, and many other ways will easily reach your audience.
Occurs when one person speaks or writes a message that is received by one or more people,
or when one person uses nonverbal body language to communicate a message that is received
by one or more people.
Concise- Short and to-the-point. Being a clear concierge with words will help you
communicate with your target audience more effectively, as well as enhance your interaction
with them.
Concrete- Rather than being vague and general, it means being precise, definite, and vivid.
Correct- Being right in your interactions demonstrates that you are informed about your
subject and know what to say, as well as building faith with your audience by showing that
they can rely on you.
Coherent- To ensure that your target audience understands you, you must be clear in your
vocabulary.
4. Give a representation of the communication model.
This diagram of communication illustrates how communication works. It demonstrates
that in order to communicate, there must be a sender and a receiver, and communication
must begin with those two.

5. Enumerate the elements of communication.

The communication process involves understanding, sharing, and meaning, and it
consists of eight essential elements: source, message, channel, receiver, feedback,
environment, context, and interference.
6. Explain Berlo's Model of Communication in your own words.

Berlo's Communication Model illustrates the communication mechanism and explains the
various components that make up the basic communication process. Berlo's model of
communication illustrates different facets of communication, beginning with the sender
"Source" and going on to the "source" sections, which include communication abilities,
behaviors, information, the social system, and culture. The "source" message must have a
Substance, Elements, Care, Structure, and Codes to go along with it. The next channel is
where everything is processed. Here, we or the communicators will use our various
senses. Hearing, Seeing, and Feeling. Touching, smelling, and tasting are all things that
can be done. Finally, the Reciever, who has Communication Skill, Attitude, Knowledge,
Social System, and Culture, will determine the message sent by the "Source." Berlo's
communication model, in my opinion, is one that repeats and continues.
7. Explain Dance's Helical Model of Communication.
Dance's helical model is a spiral cone-shaped structure; helical comes from the word helix,
which in Dance's model means an entity with a three-dimensional structure. It represents
communication beginning at the bottom in this cone chapter spiral figure. It represents
communication beginning at the button and ending at the spiral's highest point. The dance
model is often used to reflect life itself, in which we all begin as a small human and progress
to our highest point. Dance's communication model illustrates how we communicate by
beginning with a few words and working our way up to a full sentence.
8. Why is the present and past included in Dance's model but not the future? Expound
your answer.
A communication mechanism, according to this theory, is the product of what we have
experienced or what we have learned. It means in his philosophy; Frank Dance included the
idea of time. The lifetime experience gained on the subject would always be based on a
previous related event/incident.
The Helical Model of Communication is both linear and circular, in comparison to models
that are either strictly linear or circular, such as the Artistotle communication model or
Berlo's SBSW model. The communication complexity was stressed in Dance's model. The
communication process is defined by Frank Dance in the form of a Helix. He came up with
this idea based on a simple helix that expands as it moves or develops. The key feature of a
helical communication model is that it is evolutionary.
9. In your opinion, what is the best type of communication to use and why?
Verbal communication- It is easier and best to communicate verbally because it saves time,
and it is more effective because emotions are well expressed, the feedback loop is smoother,
verbal communication is cost-effective, and the tone is easy to read. Also, it can be done one-
on-one, online, or in a group setting, to name a few options. It's a personal, efficient method
of communication that can be combined with phone calls and emails whenever possible. In
the case of verbal communication, the message's medium is oral.
10. Enumerate the etiquette of an individual in communication.
 Make using the words "please" and "thank you" a habit.
 When someone says "thank you," respond with "you're welcome."
 Stop using clumsy words like um, huh, hmm, nah, and okay. Instead, take a moment
to think before you answer.
 Maintain a friendly tone of voice.
 Take caution of "friendly put-downs" that really hurt and aren't as funny as you think
they are, such as "shut up" or "so what."
 Ask questions like, "Where are you from?" or "What are your hobbies?" to crack the
ice.
 Take turns speaking and refrain from telling long stories or divulging too much
information.
 If you're on the phone in a public location, find a private spot where you can continue
the conversation or lower your voice so that no one else in the area hears you.
 Always state your name, who you are calling for, and why you are calling when
leaving a message on an answering machine or voice mail.
 Make eye contact and nod your head to show you're paying attention.
 Make a remark on what the other person has said.
 When someone else is speaking, do not interrupt them.
 Consider not emailing, texting, or talking on mobile devices when conversing with
others, depending on the generation you're interacting with. This is viewed as
insensitive by several.
