Sender or Source

 Source is a person who conveys his message, idea and emotions to other people while
using difference sources to communicate like gesturing, writing or signals etc. Without
sources there is no concept of process of communication. It is the experiencing ideas
effectively in a speech.
Message

 It is the in information we want to communicate with others. Message may be in the form
of verbal, nonverbal and vocal. But according to Wilbur Lang Schramm, It may be an ink
on the paper, a sound wave in the air or any other gesture capable interpreting. So here
what we say, it means that a person has either to communicate his message to the other
person in the form of writing or speaking to others so that sounds waves may reach him or
he has to make some gestures etc. like nodding, had, smiling
Channel

 Literally it means “different means of communication” and also known as medium.

Example of these channels are radio, email, skype, television, mobile, print media any
many more. So there are a lots of channels now it depends on sender to select any channel
for the message according to his need. While selecting the channel the send should focus
on the cultural or psychological need of the persons affected by the message
Destination / Receiver

 Destination or receiver means the person for whom the source conveys the message
through several medium. The receiver of the message may be readers, receivers, listeners
or viewers. For example if person A is talking to person B. A is sender and B is recover.
Feedback

 Feedback is the response given by the receiver to the source it is also very much
important in effective communication process. If there is no feedback from receiver the
communication process will not incomplete because there must be some problems in
channel or the receiver has not fully interpreted the message according to his mental level
or the message was full of entropy so there may be possible cause of delayed feedback or
no feedback.
