COMMUNICATION THEORY

 COMMUNICATION THEORY

     Communication is the actionable transmission of information from one person, group, or location to another by writing, speech, or a media that facilitates comprehension. Every communication contains at least one sender, a receiver, and a message. Many factors can influence how a message is sent from sender to recipient, since communication influences how individuals interact. These include the location, method of communication, cultural context, and emotions involved. However, communication allows individuals to communicate and discuss different areas of their lives.

     A "communication theory" defines as an effort to explain how and why people interact meaningfully with each other. Such ideas can come from a range of disciplines, including psychology, biology, and philosophy, however, the study of the nature of communication is a field in and of itself. A communication theory is primarily concerned with explaining how one person can transmit meaning to another, as well as the degree to which the speaker and listener comprehend each other. Other theories emphasize the historical and ceremonial relevance of communication as a vital component of culture. Such theories may emphasize the broad cultural implications of communication rather than the precise mechanism of communicating meaning.

     The goal of communication is typically highly crucial to a communication theory, yet different theorists frequently support different principal objectives of communication. A communication theory, for example, may be founded on the basic idea of communication as the practical means by which individuals communicate ideas. Other theories, on the other hand, may consider communication as a notion apart from the communicators, focusing on the flow of information rather than the interaction between two persons. Furthermore, some theories take a multidimensional approach to the purpose and foundation of communication, whilst others explore it from a single perspective. One important division between different theories is between the idea of communication as an exchange between social beings and communication as an exchange between biological organisms.

     Theorists on one side argue that man is a social being that is fundamentally different from other organisms, so an appropriate communication theory does not need to be rooted in biology. Theorists, on the other hand, say that because humans are biological organisms, a communication theory can only be comprehensive and effective if it is deeply founded in biology. Such theorists frequently investigate the links between human communication via language and non-linguistic animal communication.

     The overall focus of communication theory tends to focus on a few main perspectives on language. The mechanistic perspective, for example, assumes that one person transmits a message, and the other person gets it exactly as intended. Psychological models, on the other hand, evaluate the psychological impacts of communication and investigate the differences between the received and delivered messages. A communication theory based on social ideas, on the other hand, investigates the broader social ramifications of a message and may look into how ideas evolve as they flow from one person to another. Such viewpoints may also consider language as a weapon for manipulating and wielding control over others.
