Barriers to Effective Communication Language Barriers. Obviously, communication between people who do not speak the same language is a barrier. Even when communicating in the same language, accents and the terminology used may act as a barrier if it is not fully understood by the receiver. For example, a message that includes a lot of specialist jargon, abbreviations and/or regional expressions will not be understood by the receiver who is not familiar with the terminology used. It is also important to note that body language plays a large role in communication and may become a barrier, depending on a person’s perception.
Accessing the law a) With reference to an Australian case, explain the difficulties faced in accessing the law If an event where law is concerned and a migrant is involved, it would be a difficult and confusing time and would make their settlement into the country a hard one.

These difficulties include Language, Procedures and Cost.

And who tells us who we want to be?" as referenced in the "Australian identity: who the bloody hell are we?" article. The facade put on by stereotypes and holding the hand of arguably greater nations manifests itself into the Australian identity that is projected but not the identity that is actually the true Australian identity. The true identity of Australia is much, much more difficult to define and requires
According to item A there are various differences in education. Firstly, there are various reasons for ethnic differences in achievement.

Junot Diaz first shows stereotyping girls by their skin color when he states, “If she is a white girl you know you would at least get a hand job (178)” This quote is basically saying that white girls are relatively “easy to date” and based on their race you may be able to expect specific sexual favors. In addition he shows more stereotyping by skin color “The white ones are the ones you want the most” implies that they are the preferred race to date although difficult to date due their family dynamic, such as parent approval (179).

In addition “Neither of them want her seeing any boys from the Terrace-people get stabbed in the Terrace (179).” implies that boys from the
On the contrast, other women on the show such as Amy seem to have an extraordinary amount of intelligence, yet lack the pretty looks to go along with it. They seem to portray women as opposite ends of the spectrum; either they are all brawn and no brain or extremely intelligent but lack beauty, both sides being socially awkward to an extent. This contrast may have been done in order to show the differences between certain women and how the men of the show view and treat them, often with the intent of comedy. It’s amusing to the public to see a pretty girl struggle with understanding a simple concept, and equally amusing seeing an intelligent average looking girl struggle with trying to fit in. However, here in lies the problem: the way they represent women is harmful because it leaves people with the impression that if there’s a good
