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.
