Communication models and Communications In Contemporary Society

Communication models and Communications In Contemporary Society:

Communication is latin for communicaire which means “To share”, communication is the act passing a message and being mutually understood whetter that you are using signs, sounds or a device. How good we are at communicating is often determined by how you can share, impart information or find common tool to communicate with.
The basic steps to communication are that you have to have a communicative intent, a message composition, a way to encode the message, a transmission of a signal, reception of that signal, a way to decode that signal and a way to interpret that message by a recipient.

Reasons why we Communicate:

• For Survival
• To Co-operation
• For Personal needs
• In Relationships
• To Persuade
• Gain Power
• For Buying & Selling
• To Learn
• Making Decisions
• To Express Your Self

Survival:

we have to communicate with each other so we can trap and cach foot even to grow food we have to have a way of asking of help with such things. Say a pack of dogs were about to attack someone you would need to be able to warning to them or ask for help to scare them off. We would not have gotten to the top of the food chain without communication.

Co-operation:

To co-operant with some one you need to be able to pass information to get a job done. You can't just stand around nothing would get done. To co-operant we need some form of communication or we would just have society of people living in fields.

Personal Needs:

If you need food and you were sick, how you would you ask for food or even tell someone you're sick if there was no communication? You would just sit there dieing communication is key to living and to get what you want in life if you can't ask or demand something then you will never get something.

Relationships:

in a relationships you need to express your self if that is to tell someone that you love them or to tell them you think they are driving you mad. To a relationships with someone there needs to be some form of bond, but if there is no communication then how could you form a bond?

Persuasion:

To persuade someone you need to move there thinking over to what you want them to think or believe to do that you must have way to motivating them one of the best way of ding that is through communication. We persuade people all the time while talking telling them about something we did or even a lie is persuading someone to believe in you.

Power:

there is power in communication, if you believe in the bible than you have give power to someone through a book but that book was communication the teachings of someone. Someone wrote that book and chose the words and they had the power using communication to make you go to church or believe in something. That even when in a war if you can communicate with the the rest of your troops you can control your fighters and make plans giving you power over your opponent.

The Communication Process:

The communication process is broken down into 5 parts:

1. The Message, you must come up with a message you wish to send.
2. Encoding, you have to encode the message .i.e a way to make the message on a pice of paper or by talking.
3. A Channel, you have to have a way of giving that encoded message like with sound or with the postman.
4. Decoding, you have to be able to decode the encoded message like if you don't have ears you can't hear the message or if you don't live have a house how can the postman give you the massage.
5. Receiver, even if you can get the message but if you don't speak that same language or you can't read that message then the message is not understood and the communication process has failed.
