  7. Shannon and Weavers model contained 6 communication componentsINFORMATION SOURCE- sender of the signalENCODER/TRANSMITTER- encodes the signal into a transmittable form -coder of the signalCHANNEL- medium through which the signal passes -carrier of the signalNOISE- the deterrent preventing the signal from being relayed. DECODER- decodes the signal from its transmittable form to a message for the receiver. RECEIVER- the recipient of the message. 

  8. INFORMATION SOURCE/TRANSMITTER: Foreign countries creating films to import enabling them to relay culture and ideology across boarders. CHANNEL: film it self, the acting, cinematography etc NOISE: Chinese censorship laws prohibiting foreign film content to enter the county DECODER/RECEIVER: Limited information being filtered into the country- results in limited and inaccurate ideologies and concepts from foreign entities being grasped by the Chinese people.
