The Communication Process
Veronica Flores- Period 7
The Communication Process
There are four major parts in the communication process including the sender of the message, the message, the receiver of the message, and the feedback between the two people over the message.
The sender of the message is the person who sends a message to another person. The message is what is trying to be sent and read between two different people. The receiver of the message is whoever is trying to be contacted to receive the message from the sender. And the feedback is when the receiver acknowledges the information they have received.
Along with those four major parts come two other parts that factor into the communication process, which are the channel and the noise/interference. The channel is how you communicate with the other person. Some examples are texting, social media, sign language, and just plain talking. The noise/interference is something that stops the sender from getting the message across to the receiver.
An Example of the Communication Process
Sender A mom is trying to call their child to dinner. The mom is sending out a message to the daughter, who will be the receiver. | Message The message that the mom is trying to send to the daughter is, "Pam, dinners ready! PAM!" The sender had started out with a regular voice, but had to yell loudly to get the daughters attention. | Reciever The receiver in this situation would be the child, or the girl in her room. As you can see from the picture, she is listening to music and this could cause problems in our communication process. |

Possible Noise/ Interference The girl was listening to music, which can cause problems in the communication process if she had been listening to the music too loudly. This could make her not hear her mother. | Feedback Once the daughter had finally heard her mother, she would respond with, "I'm coming, mother." Now that she has acknowledged her mother, the communication process is complete. | Channel Throughout the communication process the two girls used the channel (way of communicating) of verbal words. They would call or yell to get each others attention since they were in different rooms. |

Another Example of the Communication Process
Sender In this situation, there is a sign language interpreter at church. Their job is to take whatever the church leader says and interpret it to deaf or hard of hearing people who know sign language. | Message The message could be a great deal of things, but in this scenario it would be things from the bible and additional things the church leader may say. | Reciever(s) The receivers are the people in the church watching the interpreter. They count on the person interpreting to understand what the church leader is saying. |

Possible Noise/ Interference In this case, there couldn't be a noise so much as a distraction. Maybe your eye caught two people in the middle of a conversation and you completely lose focus on what the interpreter is saying. | Feedback How you would give feedback in a church is by raising your palms whenever you're supposed to or nodding you're head every once in a while. | Channel In this example, the channel (way of communication) was through sign language. |
