Some of the threats to efficient communication for the community as a whole relate to the values of
A. Oppression
B. Power
C. Wealth
D. Respect
E. Conflict
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
B, C, D only
Efficient, healthy communication within a community depends on a reasonably equitable flow of information and expression among its members; when certain values become concentrated in the hands of a few, they can distort or block this flow.
Power (Statement B) is a threat because when communicative power is concentrated with a select few, they can control what is said, who is heard, and whose voice is suppressed, undermining free and balanced communication.
Wealth (Statement C) is a threat because economic resources often determine access to communication channels and media, so unequal wealth distribution can shut out less privileged voices from the community's communication process.
Respect (Statement D) is a threat when it is unequally accorded, because groups or individuals denied respect/status find their communication systematically devalued or ignored, damaging community-wide dialogue.
Oppression (Statement A) and Conflict (Statement E) are better understood as outcomes or processes that can result from imbalances in values like power, wealth, and respect, rather than being themselves the core values whose unequal distribution threatens communication in the framework this question is based on.
Hence, the values that pose the threat here are Power, Wealth, and Respect (B, C, D only).
