Perception and Context
Your perception and context go together. Perception is the way you view a word. For example the word water could mean something completely different to you than a does to a fisherman or a person in a different country. And if you are in a different *context then the word water could mean different too. Your perception all depends on your context.
There are three things that influence your preception:
An example of this that happened to me was when I was talking to a friend that has never seen snow. I was talking to them about how it snowed a lot the other day and they asked how snow looked and what it felt like. I guess I did not really think that I would have to ever explain snow to someone because where I live we just know what it is. I found out it is kind of hard to explain something that you have known your whole life to someone that has not ever seen it or felt it. Your perception of things is probably different than the the person sitting next to.
*Your setting the people that are around you and the situation that is happening.
There are three things that influence your preception:
- Physical Differences: You may have a hearing disability while your friend does not so you may precieve what the person said to you differently than what the person with out a disablity did.
- Past Experiences: Depending on where you grew you you might order a cold drink using the term soad, pop, or soft drink. Past experiences influence how you accept or reject a message.
- Present Situation: How you feel mentally or physically. Example: If you are upset about an aruement with a friend you may snap at your parent when asked to help with something even thought they had nothing to do with it..

Channel and Noise
The channel is how the message is sent. (senses)
With channel comes noise.
There are two types of noise: External and Internal.
External noise is the outside receiver. This can not always be controlled. ie: Construction work, radio, people talking when you are talking, and dogs barking.
Internal noise is the inside receiver. Can control many of these. ie: your emotions are running wild and can not think or pay attention, or you are hungry.
One time my mother was trying to have a conversation with me but I could not concentrate on what she was saying because there was so much noise going on around me. Inside of me all I was thinking about was how hungry I was and how much I wanted lunch. Which then caused me to not pay attention to her because of the internal noise going on. Plus the television was on so I was also paying attention to that. Internal and external noise can be an issue because it causes you to not pay attention to the person that is talking and them to get angry.

Communication: Good Vs. Bad
What is communication?
Communication is the process of getting your thoughts out to someone. Either by talking, not talking, or using technology.
Good communication is when you successfully get your thoughts across to another person. Using eye contact and gestures may help you do this.
Bad communication is when you can not properly get your point across. Usually you do not use eye contact and the other person does not understand what you are talking about.
Here is an example of bad and good communication:
