Key Points

• The three significant criticisms of Aristotle’s model are No Feedback, No Noise, and Public Speaking Centered.
• The most crucial weakness of Aristotle’s communication model is that it is a linear communication process. It is a linear model of one-way communication.
• It did not include and explain feedback essential for the interactive communication process. Due to the lack of audience feedback and openness in this communication model, the conversation is ineffective.
• Additionally, its credibility and usefulness are limited because it is only helpful for public speaking.  Finally, Aristotle’s model shows no concept regarding noise barriers in communication. Noise is an unwanted but paramount element of the communication process.  

Additional Information

Aristotle's model of communication, also known as the classic model of communication, is one of the earliest and most influential communication models. It was developed by the Greek philosopher Aristotle in his work "Rhetoric" over 2,000 years ago.

The model consists of five key elements:

Speaker: The person who delivers the message or speech.

Speech: The message or content that is being conveyed by the speaker.

Audience: The person or group of people who receive the message or speech.

Context: The situation or occasion in which the speech is delivered.

Effect: The intended impact or outcome of the speech on the audience.
