Communication processes encoding/decoding

The process of communication requires three basic components a sender, a message, and a receiver. The sender encodes information into a message to send to the recipient for decoding. The message usually has an overt purpose, based on the sender s desire to inform, educate, persuade, or entertain. Some messages can also be covert to attract attention, make connections, gain support, or sell something.
