Message Chann

Sender- The sender is the person who wants to deliver a

message pretty self explanatory, right
Encode- For a sender to transfer a message they must
first translate the message into symbols for the receiver
(the one who receives the message) this means taking
thought emotions and images and translating them into
something the receiver can understand these symbols
often include:
*Words
*Sounds
*picture
*sense information (e.g., touch or smell)

Message Channel- After encoding the message, it's time

to communicate the message to a receiver to do this, we
must pick a channel for the message to go through.

Decode- Once the message is received by someone, it's

time for the decoding process just like a sender must
encode messages to communicate receivers must sense
and interpret the symbols to fully understand the
message they then decode the symbols back into images
emotions and thoughts to make sense of them.
Receiver- The receiver is the person who receives the
message.
