Introduction
Barriers, everyone has them whether they admit it or not. A barrier is something that can either stop you from understanding what is said or stopping the other person/people from not being able to understand what you are saying.

Physical Barrier
A physical barrier is barrier that has something to do with your senses these can be thing such as hearing impairment or sight impairment but sometimes they can be to do with a physical disability such as being in a wheel chair.
Solution
The way you can solve a physical barrier such as hearing impairment or sight impairment is by either speaking louder or the person with the hearing impairment could get a hearing aid or to solve the visual impairment they could either right bigger or the person with the visual impairment could get glasses.
Language barrier
There can be quiet a few language barriers these can be things such as them speaking another language or having a strong ascent.
Solution
The solution to these barriers could be either learn the language the person is speaking or try and get a translator but if they have a strong ascent you could ask them to try and speak clearer.
Perceptual barrier
Perceptual barriers can be things such as people stereotyping people just because of the way they look or dress.
Solution
A solution could be to gain an understanding of a person before you judge them. This is most likely where the phrase "don't judge a book by a cover".

Effective Communication (P2)

Effective Communication

What is effective communication? Effective communication is a something that helps us better understand a person or situation and enables us to resolve differences, build trust and respect, and create environments where problem solving is easier to do. As simple as communication seems, much of what we try to communicate to others and what others try to communicate to us gets misunderstood, which can cause problems with in either a working environment or a home environment.

Effective communication can improve relationships at home, work, and in social situations by improving teamwork, decision-making, and problem solving skills. It enables you to communicate even negative or difficult messages without creating problems or conflict between two people.

Knowing of peoples culture will allow you to communicate more effectively due to the fact that you can take peoples cultures in to consideration so that they do not insult them and they don't segregate the different cultures. 
 Body language can include facial expressions, gestures, eye contact and the tone of your voice. The way you look, listen, move, and react to another person tells them a lot about you.  People from different countries and cultures can use different non-verbal communication gestures.

Being able to use signing can improve communication due to the fact that it will help emphasise what you are saying because people might listen more if there is something to look at.

Personal Attributes Valued By Employers (P1)



Personal Attributes Valued By Employers

A specific attribute is an attribute that is related to the job. Specific attribute to a job such as programming can be things such as having skills in physics tools engine tools and graphic tools because they maybe the tools they use when programming for that specific company. Or another specific attribute for a job such as animation could be having experience in character animation.
   A general attribute is an attribute which isn't just valued by the employer of the job you maybe going for but it is valued by any employer for any job. There are many different types of general attribute that are valued by employers such as things like having good communicational skills, this would be valued by employers because with out good communicational skills you would be unable to work in a group which in most businesses you will have to work in a group at some point. Another general skill that would be valued by employers could be something such as being good at time keeping the reason this is could be a attribute valued by an employer is because if you are good at time keeping it will allow you to make sure that all your work is done in time.


An attribute in which I have is that I have good problem solving skills this is shown by when there is a problem with the computer at home I would help my family find out what the problem was and sort out the problem. Another attribute can be that I am good at maths this is shown by that I was one of the three students in my class that did higher Mathematics.

Introduction

Past
When I was younger I always enjoyed playing games which lead to me wanting to be a part of the games industry. The reason for this is because I have always been very critical of the games I play whether they were RTS (Real time strategy) games, football simulators, first person shooters and third person shooters.

Present
As I have gotten older my passion for games have been come greater than ever before. I have become even more critical about the games I play. This is why I have decided to do a gaming and computing course in college because I hope to become a member of the games industry so that I can help with the improvements of the newer games and technology.

Future
When I have finish college I want to go and move on to university so that I can further my knowledge of software engineering principles to games development and get a degree so that I can hopefully one day become a games developer so that I can help to further the software and games that are created in the future.
