What is a social barrier of communication?

Answer 1

Physical Barriers - One of the major barriers of communication in a workplace is the physical barrier. Physical barriers in an organization includes large working areas that are physically separated from others. Other distractions that could cause a physical barrier in an organization are the environment, background noise

Language - Inability to converse in a language that is known by both the sender and receiver is the greatest barrier to effective communication. When a person uses inappropriate words while conversing or writing, it could lead to misunderstanding between the sender and a receiver.

Emotions - Your emotions could be a barrier to communication if you are engrossed in your emotions for some reason. In such cases, you tend to have trouble listening to others or understanding the message conveyed to you. A few of the emotional interferences include hostility, anger, resentfulness and fear.

Lack of Subject Knowledge - If a person who sends a message lacks subject knowledge then he may not be able to convey his message clearly. The receiver could misunderstand his message, and this could lead to a barrier to effective communication.

Stress - One of the major communication barriers faced by employees in most of the organization is stress. When a person is under immense stress, he may find it difficult to understand the message, leading to communication distortion. At the time of stress, our psychological frame of mind depends on our beliefs, experiences, goals and values. Thus, we fail to realize the essence of communication.

As a child grows up, he/she gets used to a myth that only what is seen around oneself can truly exist in the mind. This is the inner part. The outer part is The Unknown, which has to be imagined and understood properly. This social barrier splits the two, creating a limiting factor in what a person can communicate to others. If this barrier didn't exist, then there would be no limits to how intelligence can grow.

Unfortunately, it takes a great deal of dedication to break past the social barrier in most people. More than often, they tend to turn to drugs or other habits in attempt to find something new.
