Hal 7,8,9

Our senses have limitations and can only detect a small portion of the real world. For example, while dogs can hear and smell much better than humans, our eyes can only see a narrow band of the light spectrum. We can also selectively perceive some sensory information while ignoring other stimuli, such as focusing on one conversation in a crowded room. The extent of our selective perception varies between individuals and depends on our level of alertness, as we miss more when sleepy compared to fully awake states.

Sensory Limitation

The number and types of signs we can detect from the real
world, however, are limited by our sensory abilities. In short,
the human sensory receptors are restricted. For example, our
eyes can detect only a small part of the total spectrum of
wavelengths; and the ability to detect within these
wavelengths varies from person toperson.
We can see only a fraction of the distance a hawk can see.
Our ears can pick up only a narrow band of the vast range of
air vibrations, and people's ability to pick up sounds within
these ranges varies. As we all know, dogs and birds can hear
much that we cannot. Likewise, we can smell only the
stronger odors around us, while dogs and most other animals
do a much better job of smelling and so. Clearly, our senses
are limited and can detect only a small portion of the reality
surrounding us

A Well Designed
Communication
Process
Communication is a two-way process in which
there is an exchange and progression of ideas
towards a mutually accepted direction or goal. For
this process to materialize, it is essential that the
basic elements of communication be identified.
These elements are:

Sender/ Encoder/ Speaker

Message

Medi um

Recei ver/ Decoder/ Li st ener

Feedback
Sender/Encoder/Speaker
The person who initiates the communication process is
normally referred to as the sender. From his personal
data bank he selects ideas, Encoding of encodes them
and finally transmits them to the receiver in the form of
a message.
His choice of images and words, and the combination of
the two is what goads the receiver to listen carefully. In
this process a number of factors come into play, primary
among them being an understanding of the recipient and
his needs. If the message can be formulated in
accordance with the expectations of the receiver, the
level of acceptance is going to be higher.
