Barriers in communication

Summary/Abstract: Communication is all over around us. Today, more than ever, at individual level, but also at group level, communication receives a great deal of attention. This extension to everyday life produces a true revolution of communication. The birth of radio, television, internet and mobile telephony radically changed our life. The communication revolution meant a raise in the quantity of information to which people have access. The greater the quantity, the more the risks of manipulation increases. The informational revolution had divergent effects. One of them was the conservation and strengthening of values, beliefs and behaviour norms of some groups of people; on the other hand, this revolution diminished the importance of cohesion inside a group. It invented a new field of perception: the virtual one. Virtual perception is the one that tells us what it should or should not be important for us culturally, socially, educationally, politically or economically speaking. Another aspect of communication is represented by the barriers, the central topic of this paper.
