Week 2 discussion 1


A model of basic communication process which is expanded from a “linear model” of communication views communication as a one way or linear process. This means information is being passed from a speaker to an audience listening without feedbacks or comments. The speaker communicates a lot of information and vital ideas without giving the listener any opportunity to express their understanding of the dialogue. It is a form of an authoritative means of communication. For example, when I was 7 years of age, my dad was more of a linear communicator. Anytime we want to go for a party, I like to wear what I pick, but my dad rebukes me with a loud voice to wear what he wants me to wear without hearing my own opinion. I just look at him and nod my head.
An “Interactive model” of communication is when two people are communicating; it describes each component’s movement and interdependence with other components which are constantly in transmission to each other. This is a method whereby people interact with others to share information and beliefs, exchange ideas and feelings, make plans and solve problems. Sometimes this interaction is done interpersonally, in a team or small group, in a conference and sometimes. An example this situation is, when I was ask to communicate an information to the other staffs where I work, I made sure I asked the necessary question to be sure on what to say, which helped me a lot.
