The communication process refers to the flow of information between a sender and a receiver. It involves the following steps:
1. Sender: The person who initiates the communication by forming a message.
2. Message: The idea, information, or content that is being communicated.
3. Medium/Channel: The method or medium used to transmit the message (e.g., speech, email, phone).
4. Receiver: The person who receives and decodes the message.
5. Feedback: The response sent by the receiver to ensure the message was understood correctly.
Effective communication requires clarity, active listening, and proper selection of medium to avoid misunderstandings.
