Salem prides itself on tradition and doing everything in a formal and old-school way which is why I think Salem is the perfect discourse community. Salem embodies everything a discourse community is and should be. For a city of 26,000 it may sound like a lot of people but it completely feels like a small town because everyone knows everybody. If you have ever seen the movie Friday Night Lights…

Players and fans howling out chants, screaming for their team, anything they can do to distract the other team. These are the nights that we remember, those Friday night-lights; I will never take them for granted. Offensive linemen are the first to get yelled at and last to get recognized.
