12. COMMUNICATION MODELS
Models are representations. A model is designed
to provide a simplified view of some more
complex object, phenomenon, or process, so that
fundamental properties or characteristics can be
high-lighted and examined.

13. COMMUNICATION MODELS
Models highlight some features that their
designers believe are particularly critical,
and there is less focus on other features.
Thus, by examining models, one learns not
only about the object, situation, or process,
but also about the perspective of the
designer.
