PERSPECTIVES IN COMMUNICATION
                 Perspective means having a predetermined idea about someone, in terms of behaviour. It is a way of thinking in
                 which people develop their own views regarding a person which affects maintaining a perfect communication
                 between them. For example: Communication between teacher and student.

                 Factors Affecting Perspectives in Communication

                 There are certain barriers that stop us from communicating clearly, such as hesitation to share a message.
                 These factors affect the perspective in communication:

                         Factor                              How Can The Factor Become a Barrier
                 Language               Sometimes,  a  conveyor  does  not  find  correct  or  suitable  words  to  convey  his
                                        message. In this way, he remains incapable of expressing the true sense of his views.
                                        Such problems occur when there is a difference in the language of two different
                                        people.
                 Visual Perception      It is about having prejudice about someone that doesn’t change, even after noticing
                                        a change in behaviour. It refers to the prenotion of the brain to sense what we see
                                        through our eyes.
                 Past Experience        The experience from a past event sometimes blocks our mind to take decisions or
                                        set prejudices in our mind. Our earlier experience doesn’t allow us to understand or
                                        communicate clearly.
                 Prejudice              It is a kind of preconceived opinion or prenotion which stops us from understanding
                                        or communicating.
                 Feelings               Feelings include emotions that sometimes cause a lack of interest or not trusting the
                                        other person, which also affects our communication.

                 Environment            Sometimes the hindrances in the environment make communication difficult, it is
                                        because of noise or disturbance.
                 Personal               Sometimes communicating or willing to begin a conversation also depends on our
                                        mood, fear or low confidence which makes it difficult to communicate.
                 Culture                Sometimes one sign can depict different meanings in different cultures, such as
                                        showing a thumb may mean ‘good job’ done for some people but may be insulting
                                        for others.


                 SESSION             2   Verbal Communication


                 You might have used different methods of communication in your daily life. There must be some methods
                 while playing with your friends, such as by showing gestures, giving indications like waving, drawing images,
                 and sketches, etc. to depict a particular situation. Let’s discuss about verbal communication first.

                   UNDERSTANDING VERBAL COMMUNICATION

                 Verbal communication refers to the transmission of messages through spoken words. It involves the use
                 of language, whether it’s a widely spoken natural language such as English, Spanish, Mandarin, etc., or a
                 constructed language like Esperanto or sign language. It is a common method of communication that enables
                 direct understanding and interpretation. Communication uses words to express itself.
