Components of Communication
There are seven basic components of communication that we must consider when
planning an interaction: message creation, meaning creation, setting, participants,
channels, noise and feedback.
These components are extremely important because they give you an idea of how the
communication will unfold.
Components
1)
Message Creation: The creation of a message is important because its the beginning
of a conversation among two or more people and helps the participants to keep
going. It begins with encoding, this refers to the process of taking ideas and
converting them into messages, after the message has been delivered and received
the listener decodes the message, which means they give an interpretation to what
they have received.
Components
2) Meaning Creation: The goal of communication is to express something either
through a symbol or spoken words and allow the other person to give it a meaning.
Even if the people involved hear the same message each one of them can understand
it differently. Each message delivers two types of meaning: content meaning and
relationship meaning.
Content meaning refers to the meaning of the message either the definition you would
find in the dictionary or the meaning associated with the emotions triggered by the
message.
Relationship meaning describes what the message conveys about the relationship
between the parties.

5) Channels: The channels are the
means through which a message is
transmitted.
Some of the channels used back in the
day were face-to-face, letters, later on
telephone calls, radio and TV were
added to the list of channels.
Now we have many channels more such
as, instant messaging, text messages,
email and videophones.
6) Noise: Refers to any stimulus that can interfere with, or degrade, the quality
of a message.

characteristics such as age, race, ethnicity,

regional identity, and socioeconomic class,
as well as such factors as personality and
cognitive and physical ability.

The values attributed to individual characteristics such as age, sexual orientation, and
sex also come from larger societal forces whether communicated to us through
media, by our friends and family, or by organizations such as schools religious
institutions, or clubs.

Culture
Culture refers to the learned patterns of
perceptions, values, and behaviors that a
group of people shares. It is dynamic and
diverse. Participants bring their beliefs,
values, norms, and attitudes to each
interaction, and the cultures to which they
belong.
Context
It includes the setting in which an interaction occurs, but also which and how many
participants are present as well as the specific occasion during the interaction.

Communication Ethics
What is Communication Ethics? Ethics refers to standards of what is right and wrong,
good and bad. Communication Ethics describes the standards of right and wrong that
one applies to messages that are sent and received.
If you develop your own set of communication ethics, you will be better prepared to
face these difficult choices. Communications ethics can be concern on how absolute or
relative your ethical standards will be.
Another important ethical issue related to message creation centers on the types of
language we use. For example the use of racial and ethnic slurs and sexist and
homophobic reference can be consider unethical language.
