The communication model shows the process of communication through systematic diagrams

and is used to discuss how communication is done. The model of communication varies
depending on an individual's perception or way of communicating. The first model of
communication was in 300BC, and the process has changed; up until now, different individuals
are still developing their communication models. Since time has passed, various theorists have
developed new variables and ways of communication, but some are still similar to the old
communication models.

I, myself, have developed my model of communication, and I have used the older models as a
basis for my creation. Aristotle made the first ever communication model with five elements –
Speaker, Speech, Occasion, Audience, and Effect. His model is a linear model, and the speaker is
the main element in the model. Since the speaker is the main element, it is also the most
important element since it is the speaker's role to deliver a speech or communicate appropriately
with his audience. Also, Aristotle's model of communication is only a one-way model, with no
feedback from the audience. It's like the model's primary purpose was to deliver a speech and not
get feedback from the receiver. Another model I would like to use for comparison and contrast is
the Shannon-Weaver model of communication, which has six elements and is also considered a
linear model. The elements are almost the same as Aristotle's and my model since it has the
sender, encoder, channel (noise), decoder, and receiver. The model of Shannon-Weaver shows
how the communication process between the sender and the message can be disrupted by noise
in the channel.

In my model of communication, there are six elements – Source, Information, Channel,

Receiver, Noise, and Feedback. It is almost the same as the two models from Aristotle and
Shannon-Weaver regarding the elements, but it differs in the communication type. My model of
communication is an interactive model because the two elements – source and receiver – interact
with each other by exchanging messages with each other. Meanwhile, the two models from
Aristotle and Shannon-Weaver are only linear models. Another difference is from the two
models to my model is the way the message is sent. In Aristotle's model, there is no feedback
and noise, but, in my model, there is feedback from the receiver forwarded to the source. Lastly,
compared with the second model, they both have noise in the channel, and the receiver also gives
feedback to the sender.
