    Study Notes

    Shannon-Weaver Communication Model

    • The Shannon-Weaver communication model is a framework for understanding how information is transmitted between a source and a receiver.
    • The model suggests that communication involves several key elements, including:
      • Source: The originator of the message
      • Encoder: The process of converting a message into a transmittable form
      • Channel: The medium through which the message travels
      • Decoder: The process of interpreting the message by the receiver
      • Receiver: The recipient of the message
    • The model also highlights the potential for noise or interference, which can disrupt the transmission of information.
    • The model does not explicitly state whether the sender or the receiver is to blame for miscommunication.
    • Instead, it suggests that miscommunication can occur due to any of the elements in the communication process being flawed, such as a poorly encoded message, a noisy channel, or an inability to decode the message correctly.

    Miscommunication

    • It can arise from various factors, including:
      • Lack of clarity in the message
      • Differences in cultural understanding
      • Distractions or interruptions during transmission
      • Assumptions or biases on the part of the sender or receiver.
