Models of Communication

The transmission model is based on a linear concept, that one message is transferred to one person and that the message is then transferred to another individual. The models challenges the idea that is it impossible to transmit a message without communication error from the sender to the receiver. This model seems extremely important because how one interprets a message is based on their background. There is not just one meaning in life, there is multiple interpretations.

The cultural model is based around the theory that everyone shares a commonality. It is seen as the groundwork for which community and communication have been built upon. In some form this could be true because you see a number of languages that have words that sound remarkably close. For example the Arabic language is seen by the culture as beautiful to large number of other cultures that borrowed words from their language.

Representation

One could wonder though why people follow one representation of a person over another. Our society uses the media as a guide to life's decisions. We allow what is stated and expressed on a media to always be considered credible even if we know an accusation to be false. Media representation has always been seemingly different than I guess one could call "actual representation". The media is able to create an image of a person and apply media representation to this image. The media creates a false meaning and exploits its due to human curiosity. The true meaning that they speak of is lost in transition when it becomes a media representation. The media has always been sought after as a reliable source however this image they created of themselves has been blurred and they to have multiple meanings.
