2) Non-Verbal Communication: In this communication language is
not used unlike in verbal communication and message is passed using body
movements, facial expressions, and postures. It is totally a wordless and
unintentional even people don’t aware of it that they are sending a message.
3) Visual Communication: In this communication picture is used to convey a message as “a picture is worth a thousand words”. The message is communicated using visual aids such as signs, drawings, presentation etc.
What is Communication Cycle?
OR
What are the 7 elements of Communication?
When we share message, the message passes
through many stages, and eventually reaches to the receiver. In communication
every stage is equally important as communication is a two way process.

| Communication Cycle |
1) Source: In communication cycle source is the starting point from where communication starts. He is the speaker who gives message using any communication method like verbal, non-verbal or visual.
2) Message: The message is the thought that is expressed using a communication method.
3) Encoding: This is the process in which message is transformed into a verbal, non-verbal or visual form so that it can go to the receiver. Before encoding message you should keep in your mind the audience’s culture and their background.

4) Channel: The channel is the media through which message is transmitted from sender to a receiver. In communication different channels have different strength and weakness. There could be any communication channel:
Verbal: Speech, Face-to-Face Meeting, Telephone, Video conference, Interview, E-mail, Letter, Report
Non-Verbal: Body Movement, Face Expression, Gesture
Visual: Video, Picture, Chart
5) Decoding: In encoding message was transformed into a form so that receiver can understand the message. On the other hand in decoding a receiver reads the message and translates its meaning. There could be errors if the receiver doesn’t have the enough knowledge to translate the message.
--------------------------------------------------
6) Receiver: A receiver could be a person or a audience to whom the message has been delivered by the speaker. Sender is the one end of the thread. On the other hand a receiver is the second end of the thread. The communication is only successful when message is delivered correctly to the receiver.
7) Feedback: Feedback is the reaction that can be verbal or non-verbal. The audience will give a feedback after understanding the message. The speaker should give attention to the feedback, as it can give assurance that audience has understood the message.
There are two types of feedback:
i) Positive feedback tells that message was delivered correctly and it motivates to do better.
ii) Negative feedback tells where needs improvement, so next time perform better.
What are the five characteristic of communication?
These are the five characteristic of communication:
1) Social Activity: Human is a social animal. He lives in a group and share thoughts, experiences, so communication is a social activity. Communication plays important role in a society.
2) Continuous Process: Communication is a continuous process. It is dynamic process. Sender gives information and receiver gives response, so this process goes on until one person stops.
3) Mutual Understanding: Communication develops mutual understanding between two people. Communication develops friendship which is important factory in a society.
4) Leads to Response: Communication is a two way process. Sender gives the message. The receiver understands the message and gives the response, communication always leads to response.
5) Exchange of Information: Communication is the best way to exchange the information, so one generation transfer their experiences to the next generation in verbal or written format.
What are the factors affecting perspectives in communication?

What are the perspectives in communication?
These are factors affecting perspective in communication:
1) Environment: The environment where communication take place is most important. If a room is noisy, over-crowded, very hot or cold, it will affect communication process.
2) Past Experience: In communication process past experience plays an important role. One person had seen tough time in life while another see life as a straight road, so both would have different thinking about same thing.
3) Language: In oral and written communication, language is the backbone of the communication process. A sender and a receiver should have a common language. Otherwise receiver would not understand the message and would not give the feedback, so communication cycle will break.
4) Visual Perception: A sender and a receiver, both should be clear about the subject, communication with each other. A sender is talking about mouse, but a receiver is thinking about computer mouse, so there visual perception is not aligned. It is a big barrier in communication process.
5) Prejudices: Opinions which are not based on real experience and not based on logical reasons. One student thinking no one can be my friend in a class, would communication differently than a student thinking everyone can be my friend in a class. Therefore prejudices cause a barrier in communication.
6) Feeling & Emotions: A person thinks and reacts differently under stress or in mental unstable condition, so in communication process mental states of the sender and the receiver can change the direction of the communication. A word is enough to ignite a war.
