PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION

Subject Schedule: Tuesday & Thursday (3:30 pm-5:00 pm)

Questions:

 If you are to choose a conceptual model for communication, what would you prefer and why?
 How can you be guided by these models when communicating?

Preparation:

From my perspective, I would like to choose the Aristotle Model of Communication. According to
this theory, the speaker is essential to communication. He is in charge of all communication-related matters.
To persuade readers or recipients to behave in the way the sender desires, the sender first painstakingly
develops a message, diligently putting his ideas into words. There is no reason to speculate that the content in
this model must be incredibly powerful to persuade the audience or the recipients. Moreover, this theory
states that the type of speech should be adjusted depending on the level of understanding of the
audience/recipient. By that idea, there should be no more misunderstanding between the sender and the
recipient. The speaker communicates in a way that the listeners are affected and respond as a result,
according to the model. The speaker in this sort of communication needs to be very careful about the
concepts and words he chooses to communicate. He should start by deciding who his target audience would
be before preparing his speech. Three qualities that an effective communicator or public speaker must
possess are listed by Aristotle. These rhetorical components work in concert with one another to support the
other components. The three methods of persuasion are referred to as pathos, ethos, and logos. Regarding
the topic at hand, especially, ethos is about the speaker's authority and degree of credibility. The audience will
not trust you and be affected by you if you lack credibility. Pathos is feeling in its literal sense. The credibility of
a speaker will increase if they can successfully establish an emotional connection with the audience. The word
"logo" refers to logic lastly. However, it is more commonly used in public speaking to refer to the anchor's
message and, in particular, the claims, figures, and other elements that make up the conversation. The
speaker does not want to communicate if their action or time is unclear.

In addition to the topic at hand, Aristotle’s model of communication can help me organize my way of
speaking. Sometimes my audience can’t understand my speeches because of the deep words I am using and
how fast I am reciting them. By this method, the recipient of my message will not be confused by my terms
because I modified speech by learning Aristotle’s model of communication.
