This is 3 paragraphs which state some of the communication barriers. The paragraphs are laid out to state the three main ones (Interpersonal, General and Written) with what those could be (physical, language, perceptual, cultural and Mental Emotional). These communications barriers always occur in everyday life and in a business.
Interpersonal and general. This would be physical, distance, physical objects, malfunction equipment, heat/cold, distraction, disruption and noise. To solve the distance problem the person who is further away should move closer to the person speaking. When you are talking you can be distracted generally and distracted by noises. To solve this try talking in a quieter place and not looking at the background.
Written. A barrier to this could be language and cultural. This would be a barrier because people would write in their language so for example they were from Italy they will write in Italian which you wouldn't understand. To solve this could have either a translator (Google translator, a Italian dictionary) or an interpreter. A cultural barrier would be where people from different places would see a sentence meaning two different things problem one good one bad. To solve this a speaker can read out the page to make sure it is clear to both cultural people.
Interpersonal and written. This could be Perceptual and Mental Emotional. Perceptual would be a barrier because 'Perceptual' means there personal view on something will mean that two different people will have two different views on for example the problem of green energy. To solve this try to find non-bias people or to tell them that they can not put their own view/opinion into this. Mental Emotional would be a barrier because being emotional can limit on how people talk. If they are feeling shy then it is really hard to get them to talk. If they are crying or upset then not all of their words will be heard properly. To solve this barrier you could wait for them to be more confident so talking to them for a bit to see if that helps. If they are crying to solve this barrier could give them some time to feel a bit more happy.
