I have chosen to do my discourse community on my work which is Medina Tennessee McDonalds. The reason I have chosen this specific community is because, me as a manager we have discoursed information and goals that us managers need to have completed by certain days on the months. I believe the only way to get those done are to pass them down to the crew members and make sure that they understand each of them very well to be successful. I personally believe that each discourse community should have experts and which me and my fellow managers in this case are the experts. Before anybody becomes a manager, they should have served the proper time in the specific McDonalds as a regular crew team player.…

The discourse community I chose to study are the CNA’s (certified nurse assistant) at Marquis Shaw Mountain Nursing Home. What I have noticed in talking to my sister, Blais, (a CNA at Marquis) and CNA’s at other facilities is each nursing home has their own atmosphere and way of doing things, just like any discourse community. At Marquis the CNA’s are expected to take care of the residents and provide whatever service the resident needs to live as comfortable as possible. This includes dressing them, showering them, feeding them, and even doing the residents nails. Originally my sister had started off as a CNA at another nursing home and two years later decided to apply elsewhere.…

As a college student, I am constantly writing papers and turning in assignments. Likewise, I am held at a high standard as a Miami University student to follow certain guidelines, whether it be a part of Miami’s policy or simple assignment guidelines set by the professor. As Swales talks about in an article, there are several criteria that makes a discourse community.…

I choose the discourse community of anime. I undertook this study because I wanted to observe anime from a member’s point of view.…

Methodology The research method chosen for the present project is discourse analysis. Such methodological approach to the subject of this dissertation, FCKH8.com’s viral activity, would allow me to view the processes that allow the company to construct the identity of an activist-minded ethical consumer amongst their audience. The unity of commercially driven strategy and strife for “good cause” is observed to be a relatively new phenomenon in consumer culture, and the analysed material, being rather explicit and direct in its form of expression, is an exemplary contribution to the academic interest in the shift within the contemporary consumer culture and the new discursive processes within it. Discourse is a notion used widely across humanitarian…
