It notes that while communication is an important skill, 20% of youth cannot communicate orally well, adults only listen at 25% efficiency, and over 50% of people fear public speaking. The document then outlines different levels, components, and models of communication including the linear, transactional, and interactive models. It specifically describes Aristotle's model of communication involving a speaker, speech, audience, and effect, as well as Shannon and Weaver's model involving information source, transmitter, receiver, and destination.
