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.
