Communication Barriers
There are a lot of different communication barriers you coul find, and they are actually extremely common, some examples could be:
-Language barrier:
When two or more people that speak different languages try to communicate and they struggle to communicate.
Physical Barriers: Physical barriers can include inadequate equipment such as old or outdated computers, phones with poor signal, or other natural barrier.
Common experience barriers: When in a group of people talking about a certain topic, there is someone that does not understand the topic, communication with that person will be very limited.
Physiological barriers: Physical limitations for communication, such as: Ill health, poor vision, hearing issues, inability to talk, etc...
Attitude barrier: Some of our emotions like anger or sadness can affect the way we communicate and make it less effective.
Structure design: The structure design barrier goes a lot into organization, not being organized while communicating means to communicate the wrong information.
Cultural Noise: The cultural noise barrier refers when someone makes asumptions of a person for their cultural background (usually with stereotypes)
Overuse of abstractions: The use of vague terms, local jokes, irregular words, sayings, generalizations, etc... Can have a lot of consequences for the communication process.
Information overload: The brain needs some time to process information, so if way too much information is provided in a short amount of time, it is very likely that the person will not get it at all, interfiering with the communication process.
Jumping to conclusions: Reaching the conclusion with vague information or with the wrong information, this leads to a lot of misunderstandings.
A communication barrier is the name given to the factors that limit or completely stop communication between two or more people.
