Document Summary
Topic: explain how the synergetic model of communication differs from previous models. Depicted communication as a linear process that primarily involved the transfer of information from one person to another. Communication occurred when a sender encoded a message , and then the procress reversed. Synergetic model- a transactional model, that depicts communication as occurring when two or more people create meaning as they respond to each other and their environment. Also, based on a belief in the important roles of individual and societal forces, contexts and culture in the communication process. Its called synergetic because energy describes when two or more elements work together to achieve something either one couldn t have achieved on its own. Different parts of communication work together to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Each participant is a sender and receiver at the same time. Meaning is created as people communicate together. Previous communication events and relationships influence its meaning.
