Process Questions:

1. How do you describe the elements of communication?

 

                The elements of communication are the vital components that interact with one another for a logical conversation to occur and to serve the purpose of communication. This can be represented by each part of a body. One relies with another to for it function and do meaningful work. One body part can do work on its own. Although it would be better if another would help to create or do something better and more meaningful.

 

2. Can the process of communication be completed even without the presence of a single element of communication? Why or why not?

 

            A body can live without having diseases. So I would assume that barriers are excluded in the question. since they are clearly negative factors that disrupts the functionality of a proper communication. I think feedback is optional since you can completely deliver a complete message without it. Although it would be better to have it since you can determine what to improve in future communications. Just like how we better our immune system after having a certain illness.

 

3. Cite at least one communication situation and identify the elements in the presented situation.
