It looks like you're describing the first element in the communication process. The first element is typically the sender (or source), who initiates the communication by choosing their message. Here’s a clearer explanation:
The First Element in the Communication Process
- Sender (or Source): This is the person who starts the communication. The sender decides what message to send and how to encode it (choose words, symbols, or gestures).
- The sender chooses their message carefully to convey their thoughts, feelings, or information to the receiver.
If you want, I can explain the entire communication process or help with any specific part!
