This week we were assigned “The Concept Of Discourse Community” this was a very good reading. I enjoyed it a lot and it helped me learn about the concept of discourse community as it says in the name. This has also given be the ablity to come of with my own definition of it.
So what the main thing is of a A discourse community it is a group of people who communicate with each other and they want the same type of goal at the end. They have the same type of mindset when in comes to getting stuff done. As he said “The participatory mechanisms will vary according to the community meeting, telecommunications, correspondence, newsletter conversations and so forth.”(swales 221)
So I feel like when he is saying all of that its vary clear that they will all get their point across one way or another. They all have the same goal of getting things done and working together on it. That is how they reach their goals and communication to them is everything because without that they will not be able to accomplish what they are trying to do.
For a good example in my life one of the biggest discourse community I had was my high school cross country and track team. The main thing was getting everyone together and getting our miles in so we get be the best. That is what we would communicate put in the work and then the goals will achieve themselves.
In this world there is discourse community’s everywhere they are sports teams they are people that are working at the same company they are people that rally together and fight for a cause. The main thing is that you just surround yourself with the right community that’s all that really matters .
