When it comes to communicating with people in our daily lives, there are many people that think there is just talking and listening to the other people in the communicating process. However, there is actually five step in the communication process; which are as follows: 1.) sending the message out to someone, 2.) sending the message through a medium, 3.) receiving the message ,
4.) understanding the message the person had sent, and 5.) giving your feedback to the individual that had sent the message to you.
1.) Sending the message: with this step in communication, this is where

The
formal channel is the conventional method of communication in any police
department, which usually follows a chain of command. This kind of
communication channel is characterized by directives, written memorandums, and
formal orders. This type of communication gives a sense of security to a police
department, while at the same time provides a sense of order in the department.
There are some disadvantages to this type of communication, one is that it is very
time consuming and personnel consuming, Another disadvantage is that the formal
channel of communication has is that it effects the free flow of information between
the speaker and the receiver.
The formal channel can seem to be a hindrance to spontaneous thoughts and ideas.
There are also advantages to formal communication channels. The formal channel
provides the police organization with a type of consistency, because all officers
5 receive the same information. This is significant when there is information about a
crime, and t his information needs to get the officers that are out patrolling the area.
An informal channel of communication is basically departmental gossips. This
basically is an unofficial channel of communication within a police organization.
The information from these channels will not be seen on any black boards, emails,
or memos.
There are few barriers that make it difficult for people to have effective
We should try and consider the most effective communication method depending on the situation and the person in which we will be communicating with. Stage three is when the message gets sent we have now chosen the most effective communication method and need to make sure we use it in the correct way. We should not try and rush the message being sent because by doing so it could cause misunderstanding between the two people who are communicating and cause confusion giving the receiver the wrong impression. Stage four is whenever the message gets perceived by the receiver. The service user has to make sense of the message given to them and work out exactly what it means. There are some potential difficulties that may arise and we should be aware of how to solve these difficulties when or if they may

Communication is a two-way process that takes practice and time to be fully effective and is very important in every aspect our personal and professional lives. We communicate every day of our lives both verbally or nonverbally. The process of verbal communication is the exchanging information by transmitting an idea, send that idea, receive feedback, understand the idea and the feedback and provide feedback to the person who sent the message. The main components of communication are context, encoder, message, medium, decoder, and feedback. The context could be social, chronological, cultural, or physical. The individual sending the message will
People can communicate in many different ways, verbal (talking), Written (email, memo, posters), body language/gestures (the way they react when been given information), their facial expression, eye contact, sigh language and behavior. People communicate to one another on a day to day basis. People may communicate to each other for different reasons such as: Creating a relationship, keeping a stable relationship, 'chit chat', giving/receiving information or expressing ideas, thoughts or concerns.
So now on to the six steps that make up the communication cycle. The first step of the six is when an idea occurs. This is when the sender of the message has to think about something that they may want to communicate about. For example, if it was in a health and social care setting, for example at a doctor’s surgery the GP will think of how he is able to communicate with his patients and this will make it more efficient for him. The second step of the communication cycle is when the message gets coded. This is when the sender has to consider what they are going to say and how they are going to say it, so if they are going to use
According to Schwartz (2001), communication can be said to be the process that involves the sending and receipt of messages of information among individuals. The communication process consists of two things. It involves the sending and receipt of a message. The message sent and received can be classified into two broad categories. These categories include non-verbal and verbal messages.

Wallace and Roberson (2009) stated that communication is "a process involving several steps, among two or more persons, for the primary purpose of exchanging information" (p.15 ).
Everyone has different ways in which they communicate and have a wide range of communication needs.
Communication should be clear so that the other person understands what you are trying to say. If communication is not clear people may feel isolated, anxious, confused, frustrated and even angry. If people are given clear information they are more likely to understand the message that is being delivered.
Second, through some research shows that face to face communication can be closer to the hearts of people, and also can better able to convince other people's ideas. But there are many inconveniences in real-life communication. But there are many inconveniences in real-life communication. Through some research shows that more people have face to face communication problem, they have a little fear of face to face communication. Because close communication will test people's communication skills, they need to express their ideas in a short time in a timely manner. If not expressed in a short time, is likely to cause discomfort to each other, such as suspicion and hesitation. Just like the vast majority of gamblers on TV often need to have a poke face, they are not let others see their own
Communication can be conveyed in a plethora of different ways, whether it is a debatable topic between individuals a group of individuals, a problem or issue discussed in a relationship, or every day conversation between friends. Regardless of the situation, the information must be communicated, and perceived, accurately in order for the discussion to yield the intended result. According to “What is Communication?” (2013), “the discipline of communication focuses on how people use messages to generate meanings within and across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media” (para 1). Information can be transferred by using numerous different communication methods such as verbal communication, written
This is a disadvantage because, somewhere along the line communication may be broken and the original message lost. Another disadvantage is that “formal routes usually require a written record, which may further restrict the flow of information because many people hesitate to put their thoughts or ideas in writing” (Wallace & Roberson, 2009, p. 18). A third disadvantage that Wallace and Roberson stated would be the inability of this form of communication to respond rapidly to changing situations. With these disadvantages one may think that formal communication should be abolished, but the formal communication channel provides unity, uniformity, and order within the police organizations (Wallace & Roberson, 2009).
1. sender has an idea 2. Sender encodes the idea in a message 3. message travels over a channel 4. Receiver decodes the message 5. feedback travels to the sender
Communication is a process where we share our feelings, ideas, thoughts, suggestion, experience, feedback, opinions, etc. It’s a dialogue in which the sharing of meaningful information are constantly coming in and going out between two or more people in order
