Step-by-step explanation:

The communication cycle can be understood as a process composed of eight elements responsible for making a message transmitted and understood. Through these steps, communication can be carried out in a more efficient and effective manner, making the central objective of communication possible.

1- Source: It is the sender of the message, the person or the group that will transmit it.

2- Message: It is in fact the information that the sender intends to send.

3- Channel: The channel will be the method by which the message will be transmitted, such as telephone, internet, tv, radio, etc.

4- Receiver: It consists of the person who will receive the message. Who the message is for.

5- Feedback: It is the recipient's response to the message. It means that the message has been understood.

6- Environment: It means to which environment the message will be transmitted. If it is an organizational environment, for example, the message must follow some fundamental requirements, such as language or formal writing.

7- Context: It is the content of the message, adapted to the recipient of the message;

8- Interferences: These are internal or external problems that hinder the delivery of the message to the recipient and its understanding, such as difficulty in understanding symbols and jargon used in a communication email.
