Abstract
The Communication Process that is based on the synergetic model has various factors that come into play in order for the communication process to function correctly. The Synergetic model needs many factors to in order to have a successful communication the factors are individual forces, societal forces, culture, and context. Each factor that is used in the synergetic model serves its purpose but overall work together with one another to help each other of the factor to complete the communication process. Those 4 major factors individual, societal forces, culture, and context have their own factors in which come into play with the communication process such as age, language, emotions, cultural differences, and social class. Each of the factors have some of the reasons why when having a conversation with someone else does not work out or misunderstand each other.

Synergetic Model
“A transactional model based on the roles individual and societal forces. Context and culture also come into play in the communication process.”[1] Is the meaning of synergetic model and is used in the communication process. The synergetic model occurs when 2 or more people create meaning while responding to each other in their environment. Synergetic model was created in 1948 to represent how the communication takes place. It took many engineers and scientists to develop and design the synergetic model to show and describe how it worked to the public. Over the years it was improved into showing how each factor helps the synergetic model and why it is there.
Societal Forces When using Societal Forces in communication it determines how the person communicates with the other person. Whether it is determined by their age, gender, and relationship, for example, an older person would not speak the same way to a much younger person as he/she would if it were someone their age. Societal Forces is also found in groups where the group finds who the leader or leaders of the group are. It could be a male or either a female, some have different views or perspectives on it because some may have been in a culture or raised where the male has more power and say-so over the female. But then there are some who view female and male as equals.
Individual Forces “Individual Forces is a primary focus in communication because it is more focused on the individual’s characteristics such as age, race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, regional identity, and economic class.”[2] These are all looked at when communicating, it is how someone is described or looked at. Another attribute that is added is the Field of Experience each individual has. Field of Experience is someone’s education and the experiences the person has gone through or encountered. The Field of Experience factors into the way each individual speaks and act the way the individual act. One could have experience in greeting people and another individual could have experience in organizing. Culture “Culture refers to the learned patterns of perceptions, values, and behaviors shared by a group of people.”[3] Members of the group do not act or think alike and that sometimes is due to the way the individuals were raised or how the individuals values and behaviors that were experienced. Culture helps identify an individual’s values (independence, loyalty, etc.) that the individual’s culture thought them. But one individual can belong to many cultures because of the individual’s gender, ethnicity, occupation, and religion, and the individual will see each culture has its own way or pattern of communicating. In each culture there are cultural differences such as ethnic background and religious backgrounds that can affect nonverbal behavior. Context Each conversation has a specific context where each context includes the environment or setting that the conversation is being held at such as a birthday party or an elegant restaurant. But the context has a really strong effect on the conversation because although it includes the setting and environment it also includes how many individuals are in the setting. An example of it is if a couple argue in private and the argument is getting intense and they go into a public and start talking in a group of their friends and act as if everything is alright, their friends might not notice it but they might be able to feel the tension between them two. If there is any tension in individual forces, societal forces, culture, and context, It can make the conversation and the meaning of it with a drastically. Conclusion The Synergetic Model is a model that is formed by Individual Forces, Societal Forces, Culture, and Context and each one of them play an important role because they make the communication process complete by showing how individuals think, act, or how the individuals view things and why the individuals view them in that way. Whether it is from the individual’s age, gender, relationship, race, ethnicity, nationality, sex orientation, occupation, background, and religion, all of them are important because it makes an individual and each individual are different. With each individual being different is what makes a communication process complete because if each one were the same they would not be able to use the synergetic model because all of the individuals would be thinking the same thing, acting the same way, and looking at everything the same way. And the synergetic model is made by using each individual’s differences in order to have successful communication process.
