Communication Model

The picture you see above illustrates what comes to my mind when I think of the word “communication”. It is my model of communication – where you will find a variety of different ways in which we communicate with eachother.

My model of communication demonstrates how I communicate and the people around me communicate daily through different channels. For example, you will see the young boy on the computer, texting, and listening to music. Most young adults have a profile on a social network such as Facebook, and use that to communicate with their friends – the same goes for texting and the use of cell phones. Not only does this show nonverbal ways of communicating (through email, facebook, texts, etc.), it also shows the verbal communication between people. In my model it is the mother talking to the father. Also, even though it is only an illustration of communication, you can still see the unintentional nonverbal communication by the expressions on their faces. Even if the thought bubble was not above the father’s head you could still interpret that the father is annoyed with what the mother has to say and through his facial expression he would rather be doing something more constructive with his time. You see that there could have even been a miscommunication between the two. In this picture you can also see the communication of the media into the home through the television, radio, magazines and newspaper found thrown in the trash.
