Models of Communication

There are two models of communication they are the Transmission Model and the Cultural model.

The transmission model directly relates to communication and the notion that transportation that it is direct, sent from a sender, through a medium, to a receiver.

The biggest challenge with this model, is preparing a message that is created by the sender to be understood by the receiver. To be understood in the same exact way as the sender intended. In this model the effect of the message is direct between the source and the receiver.

In the cultural model, communication is described as a shared space with meaning, that revolves around the space.

By that I mean an area such as language. Our ability to communicate with one another is not all the same, with english, but we have a shared culture here in the USA that enables us to send and receive messages.
