For me, the logos, pathos and ethos perspective of joining a discourse community I had been part of, taught me a lesson about interpersonal skills, organizational systems and professionalism. My aim of this paper is to share my experience of joining Chitwan Pharmacy Student Association (CPSA) via use of rhetorical skills that we have discussed in class of English 1301.

Lakeita Hudson Jaclyn Harding English Composition 1 1 November 2017 Discourse Community- The LGBT Community A discourse community is a group of people who come together and share common beliefs or values. I chose to write my essay on the LGBT community. Although I am an outsider, I am interested in the different lexis this community has. I will be applying Swale’s six characteristics of a discourse community to learn about this group.
In the article "The Concept of a Discourse Community" by John Swales (1990). He aimed to define the meaning of a discourse community; then he carefully deconstructs discourse community into six fundamental attributes that are important for recognizing a discourse community. Swales’ definition of a discourse community is a group that has objectives or purposes, and utilize communication to accomplish those objectives. He states that a discourse community is presented as a more practical and purposeful gathering than speech fraternity or speech group. The six essential characteristics that Swales (1990) belief to be the core of a discourse community are its goals, intercommunication, participation, genres, Lexis, and expertise.
A discourse community is a group of people that share a set of values and goals. Members of a discourse community have their own way of communicating within the group and with the public. Although the communities may differ in subject matter and appearance, they do share varying levels of similarities. The three-discourse communities that we will be focusing on are: art, research biology and finance: specifically, the financial service sector. Furthermore, we will be comparing the three-discourse communities on: similarities among all the groups, similarities between each group and the differences among all three.
Introduction: Continuing a trend of performing a discourse community study, the gaming aspect of a community is one not a lot of people know about and how they bond, but performing a study on this community we are able to identify what makes this club so attractive for people who do play games. Discourse communities will demonstrate to readers how the group being studied communicates, bonds, sorts’ leadership, and achieves specific gaming goals only people within the club compared to gaming people who do not attend club meetings. The most common games found at the Discord Esports club were games like League of Legends, Hearthstone, Super Smash Brothers, Counter Strike Global Offensive, and Rocket League. One big mechanism many people may not
The final level of the analysis consists of the rhetoric in using in studying on social media. Social media plays an important part in students’ life in contemporary society. Peterson (2012) states that rhetoric is the art of using language which is able to persuade and influence others, when it used in social media, this art is often ignored by individuals. The rhetorical advantages of social media is it provides chances to set up one’s own ethos, it also using pathos to work. However, the use of rhetoric in social media is not sufficient, it still has room to develop.
A time that I felt out of place was my first few days at college. My parents had just left and I knew no one. I was in a strange environment and didn't know what to do. I felt this way because I was used to my same routine for almost 18 years. To feel comfortable in this new environment, I had to find a place where I could be myself but also find a new routine.
A discourse community is a group of people who share common interests, goals, and beliefs. In order to become a part of a discourse community one to should appeal to logic, credibility, and emotions. Appealing to logic can occur through the representation statistics and facts, appealing to credibility can be shown through past experiences, and appealing to people’s emotions can be seen through telling personal stories. People use these strategies in order to become a part of something different and new. I will demonstrate how I became a part of the piano playing discourse through researching information on my own, showing my past experiences, and explaining the passion and attachment that I have for the piano.
We communicate in many ways, either by email, telephone, text, face to face, social media or letters and the language we use allows us to get things done, nonetheless the language and communication method in which we chose to use can vary depending on the discourse community. Much like John Swales suggests a discourse community involves a group of people who share the same common public goals, such as shared interests, rules, structure, and vocabulary. When thinking about the several discourse communities I am evolved in, which include family, coaching football, college student, and a few friends. These discourse communities have influenced me, given me insight of where I come from and tell who I am as a person. I also believe much like Swales,
You are either in it or you’re not.” (Gee 487). Swales and Gee obviously agree on the idea of communication but surprisingly, Porter does too. Porter writes that, “A “discourse community” is a group of individuals bound by a common interest who communicate through approved channels…” (porter 400) All three of these journalist agree that communication is vital to a discourse
An important discourse community that was a part of my life was my volleyball team during my four years of high school. I started playing my first year going into high school and continued until I graduated. Until now I wasn’t even aware that would even be considered a discourse community, but it fits all of the qualifications of Swales’ definition of a discourse community. Goals
This theory is based on the concept that there are five forces that determine the competitive intensity and attractiveness of a market. Porter 's five forces help to identify where power lies in a business situation. This is useful both in understanding the strength of an organization 's current competitive position, and the strength of a position that an organization may look to move into. Strategic analysts often use Porter’s five forces to understand whether new products or services are potentially profitable. By understanding where power lies, the theory can also be used to identify areas of strength, to improve weaknesses and to avoid mistakes.
Using different approaches to express one’s opinion can ultimately help make an argument more valid and effective. Writing a post on a social media is a perfect example of one of these effective concepts. On countless beloved
