Sur Individual Communication Versus Group Communication Communication involves the relay of a message across two (or more) bodies in a constructive model. The various tools involved in communication apply in group communication as much as they apply to individuals engaged in the whole communiqué (Baack 11). Although the factors surrounding individual communication may be different, the concept used in the relay of the message is basically the same. There are limitations to the comparability of these two communication systems, since they basically entail different bodies in each case.

The comparability of these two communication systems lies in the passage of the message and the recipients. In individual communication, the initial sender of the message is most commonly a singular entity, with the recipients being either in plural or in a limited number. Communicating with an individual is rather direct since the use of non-verbal communication cues are evident, where the individual’s shift in position can easily be noted (Baack 64). Such responses are easy to monitor in the case that the communication is directed to an individual.

This is even better enhanced when it comes to feedback and its analysis. On the other hand, group communication is limited in quality by the number of singular individuals involved since they are limited in terms of response analysis and real-time reaction to such feedback from the recipients of the message. Group communication is additionally limited by the group state of mind that is imposed on the group by the environment, and thus the message and feedback cannot be handled as efficiently as on an individual basis.
