The basic elements of communication are:
                 • Sender: The sender sends a message either in the form of giving information or asking for information. The
                sender can be any person, group, or an organisation who initiates the process of communication. The sender's
                knowledge, experiences, and skills influence the quality of the message.
                 • Ideas/Messages: This message can be in the form of an idea or any information that a sender wishes to convey
                or asking for information from the receiver. The message is encoded i.e. created in the form of text, sign symbols
                which the receiver decodes or understands to find out its actual meaning.

                 • Communication Channel: It is the medium through which a message can be sent. It can be conveyed through
                oral, written or visual methods. These days, technology plays an important role in transmitting information
                through mediums such as email, voicemail, social media websites, etc.
                 • Receiver: A receiver can be any person, group, or an organisation who interprets the message conveyed by a
                sender. The receiver has to extract the meaning from the text, signs or symbols sent by the sender and find out
                its actual meaning.
                 • Feedback: It is the receiver's acknowledgement and response to the message for ensuring that they understood
                each other correctly.

                       Perspectives in Communication

              Perspective is the fixed idea or thinking that  influence how we communicate. Whether  we are the sender or
              receiver of a message, our perspective can impact how we interpret that message, potentially altering its intended
              meaning. Let us assume that a teacher wanting to teach a difficult topic in a simplified way is not understood by the
              students, as the students assumed that the topic was too difficult to understand. This perspective of the students,
              that the topic is difficult, did not allow the students to understand despite the teacher's effort to make it simple.


              Factors Affecting Perspectives in Communication
              We face this problem of conveying and understanding the message due to some problems in our communication.
              Some of the factors that affect the perspectives in our communication are:
                 • Language: It is a very important factor that affects communication. Sometimes we are not familiar with the
                language in which we wish to communicate. Using wrong words at wrong places may alter the meaning of the
                message and thus do not solve the purpose of effective communication.
                 • Visual Perception: It is the ability of the brain to interpret the message received through our eyes.
                 • Past Experience: Our past experience influences our communication both as sender and receiver.
                 • Prejudice: It is a preconceived idea, which can be favourable or unfavourable towards a person or a thing.
                 • Feelings: A sender or a receiver's feelings are very important for effective communication. If a sender is feeling
                low, then, the person will not be able to deliver the message appropriately. In case a receiver is feeling out of
                the place, he will not be able to perceive a meaningful message.
                 • Environment: If the surrounding area of the communication is imbalanced, then, the impact of the communication
                will not be much. Fear, anxiety, aggression, etc. strongly affect the communication skills.
                 • Culture: Different cultures interpret common signs, symbols and words with different meanings thus altering
                the overall meaning of effective communication.


                       Effective ways of Communication

              In order to ensure the communication is effective and engaging, we need to have a clear vision of 7 C's as discussed
              below:
                 • Clear: The content of the message you wish to communicate should be straight and clear so that it is easy to
                understand and interpret correctly.
