Question

Identify three roadblocks to successful communication and possible suggestions for over coming these roadblocks

Answer 1

Roadblocks to successful communication:

Distance
Deafness
Preconceived notions

How do you think you can overcome these problems?

Answer 2

Although I don't see "distance" as a problem, it might be the same as "noise" in information theory terms. Noise is anything between the sender and receiver that interferes with understanding the message. It can be noise as commonly defined such as in a crowd or with heavy machinery operating, or it could be "snow" on a TV screen, or the wind if you are sending smoke signals. Of course, the greater the distance, the more likely that noise will interfere with the communication.
