tell a story about communication barrier that happens generally
Answer (1)
One afternoon, a mother told her three kids—Anna, Ben, and Carlo—to deliver a message to their grandmother who lived a few blocks away. She said, “Tell Lola not to cook dinner because we’re bringing food.” Anna, the eldest, repeated it clearly to Ben, “Lola doesn’t need to cook dinner.” Ben then told Carlo, “Mom said Lola shouldn’t eat dinner yet.” When Carlo reached their grandmother, he said, “Mom said you’re not allowed to eat dinner.”Lola, confused and worried, skipped dinner thinking something bad might happen if she ate. Later that evening, when the family arrived with food, they were surprised Lola hadn’t eaten. That’s when they realized the message had changed with each person. This shows how communication barriers—like unclear wording, personal interpretation, and lack of confirmation—can affect the message’s meaning.
