The correct answer is

C, D and E only

To determine which elements involving social positions are considered determinants of communication from the eastern perspectives, we need to analyze each given option based on the cultural context in the eastern world.

Eastern perspectives on communication often emphasize hierarchical structures and collective societal roles. Let's examine each element:

  1. Absence of leadership: In eastern cultures, leadership plays a crucial role in determining communication pathways. An absence of leadership is not typically viewed as a determinant of communication in eastern societies where hierarchical structures are significant. Hence, this element is not applicable.
  2. Ego-centric individualism: Eastern cultures generally emphasize collectivism over individualism. Ego-centric individualism does not align with the eastern perspective on societal structure and communication. Thus, this is not a determinant.
  3. Role: The concept of 'role' is central to eastern communication as it defines the expected behaviors and responsibilities of individuals within a society. This determines how communication is structured. Therefore, 'role' is a significant determinant.
  4. Status: Status is a crucial determinant of communication in eastern perspectives, where social hierarchies dictate the flow and style of communication. It is deeply embedded in the cultural values and affects how messages are conveyed and received.
  5. Power: Power influences communication in eastern contexts by shaping who speaks to whom and how messages are transmitted in hierarchical settings. It is a key determinant of communication.

From this analysis, we conclude that the correct determinants of communication from the eastern perspectives are Role, Status, and Power.

Therefore, the correct answer is: C, D and E only.
