Absolute Monarchy
Constitutional monarchy
Is a form of monarchy in which the sovereign exercises authority in accordance
with a written or unwritten constitution. Constitutional monarchy differs from absolute
monarchy (in which a monarch holds absolute power) in that constitutional monarchs
are bound to exercise their powers and authorities within the limits prescribed within
an established legal framework. Constitutional monarchies range from countries such
as Monaco, Morocco, Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, where the constitution grants
substantial discretionary powers to the sovereign, to countries such as the United
Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, Sweden and Japan, where the monarch retains no formal
authorities.
Constitutional monarchy may refer to a system in which the monarch acts as a
non-party political head of state under the constitution, whether written
or unwritten.[2] While most monarchs may hold formal authority and the government
may legally operate in the monarch's name, in the form typical in Europe the monarch
no longer personally sets public policy or chooses political leaders. Political
scientist Vernon Bogdanor, paraphrasing Thomas Macaulay, has defined a
constitutional monarch as "A sovereign who reigns but does not rule".
Shannon–Weaver model
Has been called the "mother of all models." Social Scientists use the term to refer
to an integrated model of the concepts of information
source, message, transmitter, signal, channel, noise, receiver, information destination,
probability of error, encoding, decoding, information rate, channel capacity, etc.
However, some consider the name to be misleading, asserting that the most significant
ideas were developed by Shannon alone.
Interactive model
Deals with exchange of ideas and messages taking place both ways from sender
to receiver and vice-versa. The communication process take place between humans or
machines in both verbal or non-verbal way.
