2Ans:.

We can maintain personal contact through Three Common Barriers. They are Physical, Psychological, Cultural.

physiological barriers 

•Deafness or hearing loss

•Blindness or impaired vision
•Aphasia or speech disabilities

psychological barriers : 

The psychological state of the communicators will influence how the message is sent, received and perceived.

 For example, if someone is stressed they may be preoccupied by personal concerns and not as receptive to the message as if they were not stressed.

 cultural barriers :

 •Each cultural group has beliefs and practices regarding health and illness.

•Some cultures believe the body needs balance-if the body is cold, they eat hot foods.

•Some cultures believe illness is due to demons and evil.

Some cultures believe health is a reward from God, and illness is punishment from God
