Subjective Questions

1. What do you mean by feedback? Let’s take a scenario. Radha is your co-worker. Together you are
making a report on how to manage the waste in your store. Since she has not completed her work on
time, the whole report has got delayed and the manager has given you both a warning. Write down the
feedback you would like to give your workers on time management. Try to keep the feedback specific
and polite.

Ans. Feedback is the final component and one of the most important factors in the process of
communication since it is defined as the response given by the receiver to the sender.

Feedback to Radha

You are a great asset to the team. You are very professional and focused on your work. Despite the
difficult deadlines for the report on how to manage the waste in your store, you maintain a positive
attitude. You respond to problems without getting angry or frustrated. Whenever you have free time I
see you studying or looking over someone’s shoulder trying to troubleshoot a problem. It would benefit
the entire department if you paid more attention to the delivery time.

2. Write down the common communication barriers you may come across when you move to a new city
or country.

Ans. The common communication barriers a person may come across when the move to a new city or

Physical Barriers: Physical barriers are the environmental and natural conditions that act as a barrier in
communication. For example, text messages are often less effective than face-to-face communication.

Linguistic Barriers: The inability to communicate using a language is known as the language barrier to
communication. Language barriers are the most common communication barriers, it leads to
misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the message. For example slang, professional jargon.

Interpersonal Barriers: Barriers to interpersonal communication occur when the sender’s message is
received differently from how it was intended. It is also very difficult to communicate with someone who
is not willing to talk or express their feelings and views.

Organisational Barriers: Organisations are designed on the basis of formal hierarchical

structures that follow performance standards, rules and regulations, procedures, policies, behavioural
norms, etc. Superior-subordinate relationships in a formal organisational structure can be a barrier to
the free flow of communication.

Cultural Barriers: Cultural barriers is when people of different cultures are unable to understand

each other’s customs, resulting in inconveniences and difficulties. People sometimes make stereotypical
assumptions about others based on their cultural background, this leads to a difference in opinions and
can be a major barrier to effective communication.

Stress Management is about making a plan to be able to cope effectively with daily pressures. You have
to make a suitable plan for your daily life routines so that it would not put hard pressure on you. If you
are not able to manage yourself to the increasing pressure this will led to stress.

this, you are able to manage stress-related problems in your daily life

2. List your favourite stress management technique and elaborate on why you find it the most effective
for you.

Ans. The stress management techniques are:

•Time Management - One of my favourite stress management technique and I think this is the most
important one. If we are able to manage time properly then there will be no pressure of pending work
on us.

• Physical exercise and fresh air - Doing yoga, meditation and deep breathing exercises help in proper
blood circulation and relaxes the body. Which will help to become more active.

• Healthy diet - Eating a balanced diet, such as Dal, Roti, vegetables and fruits will give the strength to
do daily work efficiently.

• Positivity - Focussing on negative aspects of life will add more stress. Instead, learn to look at the good
things and stay positive. For example, instead of feeling upset over scoring less in a test, try to maintain
a positive attitude and look at ways to improve the next time.

• Organising academic life - no delaying - By keeping class notes organised, finishing in assignments on
time, and keeping track of all deadlines, stress can be reduced to a great extent.

•Sleep - A good night’s sleep for at least 7 hours helps the brain and body get recharged to function
better the next day.

•Holidays with family and friends - Going to a relative’s place, such as your grandparents’ house or a
new place during your summer vacations can help to break from the normal routine and come back
afresh.

do I use? Why am I doing this? For Example:
Not a specific goal: “I want to become a doctor.”

Specific goal: “I want to become a doctor by studying MBBS after my school gets over. After getting my
MBBS degree I will make a hospital in my village.”
