Scope of
Communication
The
scope of communication is universal and continuous — it
covers every aspect of human life from birth to death. Some major areas are:
In Personality Development:
Communication reflects one’s personality and helps develop confidence, clarity,
and emotional intelligence. It is a vital part of human existence and
self-expression.
In Social Life:
As humans are social beings, communication is the foundation of relationships
and community life. It builds and strengthens social bonds and promotes
cultural understanding.
In State Affairs:
Communication is essential in governance and diplomacy. Governments rely on
communication to make policies, connect with citizens, and maintain
international relations. Modern technology has made the world a global
village.
In Business:
Communication is the lifeblood of business. It helps
in planning, organizing, marketing, and decision-making. No business can
succeed without effective communication with employees, customers, and
partners.
In Management:
Every managerial function—planning, organizing, directing, and
controlling—depends on communication. It ensures coordination and smooth
functioning in an organization.
In Religion:
Communication has been the medium through which prophets, saints, and preachers
have spread spiritual teachings and values across generations.
In International Affairs:
Communication plays a vital role in cultural, political, economic, and
educational exchanges between nations. Organizations like UN,
SAARC, EU, and ASEAN foster cooperation through communication.
Process
of Communication
The
process of communication involves transmitting information from a sender to a
receiver with the purpose of creating shared understanding.
Steps in
the Communication Process
Ideation:
The idea originates in the sender’s mind. It is the foundation of the message.
Message:
The message is the information, thought, or feeling to be communicated.
Encoding:
The sender converts the idea into symbols, words, or gestures suitable for
transmission.
Channel:
The medium through which the message travels (e.g., face-to-face talk, letter,
email, phone, or digital media).
Decoding:
The receiver interprets or translates the message to understand its meaning.
Receiver:
The person who receives and interprets the message.
Feedback:
The receiver’s response to the sender’s message. It ensures mutual
understanding.
Noise:
Any factor that distorts or hinders the communication process, such as physical
noise, emotional disturbance, or technical errors.
Context:
The situation or environment in which communication takes place, including
social, cultural, and emotional conditions.

are obstacles that prevent effective transmission or understanding of a
message.

Distance, noise, poor lighting, or faulty technology can hinder communication.
Mechanical Barriers:
Problems like unreadable handwriting or technical issues in digital media.

Stress, fear, anxiety, low self-confidence, or bias can distort understanding.
