Process Questions:

1.    1. How do you describe the elements of communication?

2.     2. Can the process of communication be completed even without the presence of a single element of communication? Why or why not?

3.   3. Cite at least one communication situation and identify the elements in the presented situation.

Answers:

1.      1. The elements of communication are accurate and detailed. The elements can help people having a hard time in communicating because they can determine which element is missing. Some may be having difficulties when choosing the right channel, also known as the medium of the message being conveyed. Some may not be informed about the barriers present, or the right context where the communication must take place.

2.      2. Communication cannot be completed without a component, even barriers, because the communication itself is a process. It cannot be skipped to another step, or else, there will be a huge misunderstanding.
