While there are many different communication models, theories and concepts available today, the most easily recognized are these four basic communication models: action, interaction, transactional, and convergence, which are all described in the Communication Models Infographic PDF. Think about the different types of communication that you experience in your day-to-day activities. Do you see each of these models in your everyday experiences?

For each model, describe one or two examples of the model in action in someone’s everyday activities, and explain why each example meets the selected model.
