.Communication Barriers According to Scholars

Communication barriers can arise by these following example :Language


Barriers:Example: Imagine you’re traveling in a foreign country where you don’t
speak the local language fluently. Asking for directions or ordering food at a restaurant
might become quite challenging.Cultural Differences:Example: In some cultures, direct
eye contact is considered a sign of confidence and honesty, while in others, it might be
seen as disrespectful or confrontational.Emotional Barriers:Example: If someone is
feeling stressed or upset, they might have difficulty expressing their thoughts clearly or
understanding others’ messages accurately.Physical Barriers:Example: Trying to have a
conversation in a noisy environment, such as at a concert or construction site, can make
it hard to hear and understand each other.Technological Barriers:Example: During a
video call, poor internet connection might cause lag, freezing, or distorted audio, making
it hard to maintain a smooth conversation. All of these example is relatable to me , like
language differences , when some foreigner ask me for directions ,and eventually I’m try
to hard to speak and instruct what to response on her questions that sometimes I only
use body gestures to give. A sign to that directions . These barriers are crates problems
on understanding in any situation.
Overcoming these barriers often requires patience, empathy, and effective
communication strategies, such as active listening, seeking clarification, and being
mindful of non-verbal cues.
