1. How do you describe the elements of communication?

The elements of communication are dynamic. They are part of an interdependent system or process. If one goes missing, the whole communication process will not take place.

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

Communication is a process that requires various elements, so if one element is not present, the whole process would be inoperative. For instance, if there is no speaker, there will be no message. If there is no message, the channel and medium would be useless, so no one will be the recipient of the message. Thus, communication will not take place.

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

There is an ongoing Zoom meeting between a teacher and her class. The teacher was talking about the difference between the definitions of a “language” and a “dialect.” Unfortunately, there was a typhoon passing the teacher’s town, causing her internet connection to be unstable, making her camera freeze. Then the students immediately informed the teacher that they cannot understand her.

Channel: She was using the communication app “Zoom”

Personally, I find intrapersonal communication easier to practice than interpersonal communication. To fully justify my opinion, let us first define the two. Intrapersonal communication as communication with one's self. Examples are self-talk, acts of visualization, and imagination. On the other hand interpersonal communication is the process of exchanging communication between two or more people. As an introvert, I find intrapersonal communication easier to practice because I will be able to express feelings without the anxiety that people will not approve of it. Moreover, I will be able to exercise my mind with various thought processes. Furthermore, you will be able to use any type of speech style that you want. On the other hand, I will be able to dev...
