- Discourse communities I belong to:
- dsw associate
- student at UC
- member at yoga studio
Getting into school/student provides me with a degree and long term job
associate at dsw gives me money and job
studio member joins me with like minded individuals and doing a common exercise liked among all
- writing produced:
- associate- we follow the Source/ corporate rules, produces sales
- student- follow textbooks, produces literate, professional, scholarly work
- member of studio- follow instructor, produces energy and exercise
all of these discourse communities have changed the way I see the world and how I act in different circumstances. I speak and write higher and better of myself now that I have been in these discourse communities.
- ideology:
- a lot of times we reject the ideology at DSW, what corporate thinks our conversion, sales, and online sales goals should be while also tasking on the floor, customer servicing and having a speedy checkout time. However, we have to accept it and sometimes even further embrace it when an incentive is provided.
- embraces and accepts ideology in yoga studio, i choose to be there and can even change the “document” or style of instructor/ class by providing my opinion on what we’re going to work on at the beginning of class
- accepts and moves on with the ideology of UC student, we don’t like some things but its all part of getting a degree and in some ways think, sooo many people go through this same degree/ school as a student that what makes my opinion different on how important advising appointments are and when we get to schedule
