Listening is a basis for effective communication and to lead a successful professional and even political career. A good listener is always sought after by all. There are four different types of listeners, which includes:

Types of listener involved in the communication Characteristics

Non Listener
  • Non-listeners do not listen to all because they are genuinely disinterested in the subject.
  • These people pretend to listen to the speaker but in actual they are actually preoccupied with something else and engaged in information other than the one that is needed.
  • They fake their attention, but one could easily recognize them by their blank stare, impatient, and nervousness.
  • In reality, they do not even make an effort to hear and understand what the other person is saying. 

Marginal Listener
  • They are always Impatient to listen to the main ideas, marginal listeners pay superficial attention and are interested only in the bottom line.
  • They merely hear the sounds of words, but fail to absorb their meanings.
  • They do not go to a deeper level in arguments.
  • They pay attention to the communicated information occasionally
  • They use external distractions to keep themselves away from conversations.
  • They will not have any patience to sit through complex technical presentations and jump to findings and conclusions immediately.
  • It is risky to communicate with marginal listeners because they are not focused on the main ideas and often misunderstand the words of the speaker.

Evaluative Listener
  • They use logic to understand the content, hence, they distance themselves emotionally from the subject.
  • They are mostly judgmental as they presume the meaning before actually, the speaker completes a sentence. 
  • They receive information without processing the significance in the context of communication. Now, you will be surprised to know that most of us are evaluative listeners! If we look into ourselves carefully, most of the time we behave like evaluative listeners. Without paying full attention to the content, we always evaluate what somebody is trying to communicate with us.

Active Listener
  • They involve themselves actively in the communication process.
  • They focus on the content and the relevance of the information for understanding its implication.
  • The active listeners are quite sensitive towards the feelings of others, they understand the mood of the audience.
  • They show empathy and make the audience or the other person cared for. Once the audience gets the feeling that they are being cared for, they will devote themselves fully to the communication process. Once there is mutual involvement, there will be a hundred percent success in terms of communication.

Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of the governed. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it not because the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion is passive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exercise actively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed through the press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entire community. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people to form correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the government through out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which train the minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It is necessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard for the feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall have the real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.
According to the passage, which of the following is needed from the people to have true or active public opinion? 1. Alertness
2. Determination
3. Intelligence
4. Raising their voice

The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: Chat bots and other interfaces are saving employees and HR heads time for more productive activities by providing information and replies to diverse queries or concerns. A few years ago, business communication was driven by multiple faxes in a day and emails were the only quick mode of exchanging information. This information went through the organisation's who's who, while the others were mostly engaged in the daily rut of redundant activities, preventing them from directing their capabilities towards more productive areas. Which of the following arguments brig out the idea that introduction of chat bots and other interfaces is not helping in boosting up the processes? Arguments: I. Using these conversational interfaces, HR departments are successfully aligning themselves with the swiftly-changing organisational processes. These platforms represent people friendly technologies that keep employee experience at the centre, continuously evolving with them.  II. HR technologies are increasingly using advanced machine learning for measuring and analysing workforce engagement. Sentiment analysis is a unique way of gauging an employee's disposition towards the organisation, providing valuable insights essential for improving productivity and predicting attrition rates.  III. The seamless experience chat bots provide makes employees focus on activities that require critical abilities and strategic thinking. Besides enabling HR processes such as generating leave applications and reimbursement forms, the use of chatbots provides quick and smooth access to data from anywhere, anytime. 
When the alarm of your smartphone rings in the morning, you wake up and tap it to stop the alarm which causes your geyser to be switched on automatically. The smart mirror in your bathroom shows the day's weather and also indicates the level of water in your overhead tank. After you take some groceries from your refrigerator for making breakfast, it recognises the shortage of stock in it and places an order for the supply of fresh grocery items. When you step out of your house and lock the door, all lights, fans, geysers and AC machines get switched off automatically. On your way to office, your car warns you about traffic congestion ahead and suggests an alternative route, and if you are late for a meeting, it sends a message to your office accordingly. In the context of emerging communication technologies, which one of the following terms best applies to the above scenario?
