In this report I’m going to go over and review the factors that affect the communication process. I’m going to discuss that there is multiple factors that can affect how and when we communicate to one another.
The first one we are going to discuss is Status and/or Role is one of the biggest problems when it comes to individual communication. The concept of this one is managers/employee or teacher/student. This difference in the status sometimes affects the effectiveness of the communication process. If you don’t like your teacher or manager, you’re not going to listen or take heed of what he or she says.
The second is cultural differences which are either within or outside an organization which may impede the communication process. Like if inter-departmental dealings and communication with outside organizations or ethnic minorities. Sometimes people don’t realize this is going on especially in the US. Another is eye contact, if you don’t maintain eye contact in some culture’s they find it offensive, in my opinion they need to get over them self’s.
Some will say the conventions of meaning are one of the factors of communication process, but in my opinion it’s more of the cultural difference then the meaning. In some languages saying or doing one thing is accepted in one but not the other. In doing this it could lead to miscommunicated instructions and reactions towards denotations, connotations and euphemisms. This could also be written as treatment of message which is the way a message is handled, dealt with, so that the information gets across to the audience.
An audience may be formed according to age, education, occupation groups, farm size, social criteria etc.
I’m not sure if this pertains to this project but I found where to be successful must be target oriented. He must know the target, their needs, interests, resources, facilities, constraints, location. The attitude of the audience
