What are the common barries to effective communication? Suggest measures to overcome them.

Explanation

Common Barriers to Effective Communication:

1. The use of jargon. Over-complicated, unfamiliar and/or technical terms.


2. Emotional barriers and taboos. Some people may find it difficult to express their emotions and some topics may be completely 'off-limits' or taboo. Taboo or difficult topics may include, but are not limited to, politics, religion, disabilities (mental and physical), sexuality and sex, racism and any opinion that may be seen as unpopular.


3. Lack of attention, interest, distractions, or irrelevance to the receiver. (See our page Barriers to Effective Listening for more information).


4. Differences in perception and viewpoint.


5.Physical disabilities such as hearing problems or speech difficulties.


6.Physical barriers to non-verbal communication. Not being able to see the non-verbal cues, gestures, posture and general body language can make communication less effective. Phone calls, text messages and other communication methods that rely on technology are often less effective than face-to-face communication.


7. Language differences and the difficulty in understanding unfamiliar accents.
