1. Introduction
Research studies consistently show that effective communication skills are linked to higher
levels of job satisfaction, better mental health, and stronger relationships. Companies often rank
communication skills as one of the top qualities they look for in employees, highlighting its
significance in the workplace, not any, also successful leaders and public figures are known for
their exceptional communication abilities, which have played a key role in their achievements
The present assignment of Communication Theories talks about the general components of
communication. It discusses the history and forms of communication, process, principles and
competence in communication in summarized manner.
This assignment also aims to evaluate in the student the level of understanding of the
communication processes in different environments as well as to enhance his communication
skills.
The same work has the following structure: Introduction, Development, Conclusion and
Bibliography.
2. Summary
Question: 1 How might knowing the various components of communication process help
you in your academic life, professional life and civil life?
This is an interesting question; first of all, communication is the unique form by

which human and non-human species can maintain connections among them.
Communication is more than just hearing what is being said or seen, instead, it is all
about felling the intellectual connection among speakers and consequently act or react
accordingly; therefore, knowing the components of communication process would help
build the knowledge and practice the skills necessary to become a more competent and
ethical communicator which would lead me to a great academic achievement.
In addition, being able to use all these communication components with proficiency
would allow me extend my performance in my profession considering that I am a teacher
and I am supposed to have an excellent domain of the language so that my student can
understand clearly the contents.
Finally, communication components would help know the specific forms of
communication to be used in a specific place. As far as I am concerned, the more
accurate you speak to people the better you will be understood. Generally people respect
someone who speaks with confidentiality. So I think I would socially be seen as
somebody who talks significant things rather than being disrespect or even not be taken
seriously just because I don’t use the right form of communication in that specific
moment.
Question 2:
In the transactional model of communication, communication is seen as a dynamic and
continuous process where both the sender and receiver simultaneously send and receive
messages. Let's analyse a common communication scenario that I had recently, using this
model:
One day two friends, Sarah and Alex, where having a conversation about their weekend plans:
-Sender (Sarah): Sarah initiates the conversation by saying, "Hey Alex, do you want to
go hiking this weekend?"
- Receiver (Alex): Alex receives the message and responds, "Sure, that sounds great!
What time should we meet?"
- Feedback (Sarah): Sarah then provides feedback by replying, "Let's meet at 9 am at the
hiking trail parking lot."
- Noise: During the conversation, noise can occur, like distractions in the environment or
misunderstandings in the messages, which may affect the communication process.
- Context: The context of the conversation, such as their friendship, shared interest in
hiking, and the upcoming weekend, influences how the messages are interpreted.
In this scenario, Sarah and Alex engage in a two-way communication process where they
both send and receive messages, adjusting their responses based on the feedback
received. This interactive nature of communication exemplifies the transactional model,
highlighting the complexity and fluidity of everyday interactions.
Question 3:
a) Situation where I wished I could reverse the communication: I yelled to my best
friend and I told him that I had made a mistake by being his friend.
b) Situation where I wished I could repeat the communication: I was invited to
introduce myself to my co-workers in my first day of a job. I wasn’t prepared
therefore I and up saying something that I didn’t mean. After the speech I wished I
could repeat the speech in order to improve however there were no chance, the
moment was unique.
The lesson that can be learned from these two situations is that we need to carefully
think and analyse our thought before we speak. We must have critical thinking toward
our ideas and make sure that the expressions we will use are appropriate to the
situation otherwise we will be misunderstood or might not be taken seriously or we
might even provoke the listener of our massage while that was not the aim.
Concluding, for the next time, we need to think critically before speaking.
Question 4:
Phatic communication refers to the type of communication that is used to establish or
maintain social relationships rather than to exchange information or ideas.
The type of phatic Communication that I engage in is Politeness Formulas: Phrases like
"please," "thank you," and "excuse me" that are used to maintain social norms and show
respect in interactions.
.
Question 5: Of course there is a person that I think he possesses a higher level of
communication and there are three main reasons behind my opinion:
First of all, he has an excellent domain of vocabulary and grammatical rules;
Second, he has perfect rhetoric ability. The ability to persuade and make people agree
easily to his ideas.
Moreover, he is absolutely synthetic and concise in his speeches. Sometimes I wonder if
could have that level of communication however I somehow fill that I still have to
practice more and more.
And lastly he has no fear of speaking face to face even if he is in mass communication he
still being able to communicate naturally. So, all these skills make him a great
communicator and leave people satisfied whenever he delivers some information.
3. Conclusion
After an exhaustive reading about Communication forms and principles it was possible to
conclude that studying communication can develop a lot of skills for daily engagement,
such as: First, Job Interviews, here the communication principles can help individuals ace
job interviews by articulating their skills and experiences clearly, thus increasing their
chances of securing employment.
Second: Conflict Resolution: Understanding communication strategies can assist in
resolving conflicts peacefully and constructively, whether in personal relationships or
professional settings.
In addition, Public Speaking: Learning how to communicate effectively can boost
confidence and make public speaking engagements more engaging and impactful.
Finally it can develop networking skill where communication skills are vital in
networking scenarios, helping individuals create meaningful connections and
opportunities in various fields.
