After watching the assigned films Miss Representation, Miss Representation Discussion Guide, Miss Representation Script , The Mask You Live In and The Mask You Live In Discussion Guide . I am going to answer the following questions for blog post #10 and blog post #11: How does the argument in the film make you feel (impact on your being)?
How does the argument in the film make you think (impact on your knowing)? How does the argument in the film make you want to make change (impact on your doing)? Miss Representation How does the argument in the film make you feel (impact on your being)? As a member of our discourse community English 100 class, I totally felt bad. For the fact that professional women are not respected for what they can do but they are look down upon and marginalize by the media. How does the argument in the film make you think (impact on your knowing)? The film has given me a clear understanding of media and how they treat women. I think it’s not a good way the media portrait women, they should be treated with more respect as their male counterpart because they are able to contribute equally to our society. How does the argument in the film make you want to make change (impact on your doing)? The argument in the film want our discourse community to make changes to the way the media sees and treats women. They’re part of our community and should be given the opportunity to serve in every capacity like men as long as they are qualify. The Mask You Live In How does the argument in the film make you feel (impact on your being)? The film made me to sad and as part of this discourse community, it’s a good thing to be aware of the problems that our society faces and how we can have an impact in improving those ills that cause problem for our community. How does the argument in the film make you think (impact on your knowing)? This film has impacted me in so many ways and I have learn a lot. I have the knowledge of how it’s good to allow you child to be emotionally open. We as mentors need to be positively challenged and to stay true to our children in respective of their gender, how we need to give them support and keep them engage with things that will help them in life to make better decision. How does the argument in the film make you want to make change (impact on your doing)? Lesson learn from the film will be transformed to my community and I’ll make it a part of me, that teens or children should be mentor, how a good father should care for his son and teach him the right things to do, like treating everyone with respecting, no matter what gender or age that person is.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog, as we begin the second half of the semester, I am excited and ready to work hard. For my blog post today, I am going found poem (s) Our Discourse Community Values, What is Literacy? (James Paul Gee) and We Are Many (Pablo Neruda) . We were give options to complete this blog post and I consider found poem as my genre to show how the three texts speak to the identity of our discourse community.
Our Discourse Community Values inform your participation in our community, contribute suggestions to revise or add to these values, enact your own meaning-making processes, Conceptualize discourse communities social networks frame ethics, expectations, and exigencies stakeholders use situated languages to bond others and make meaning, Cultivate joy writing learning Connect past, present, future writing histories knowledges Clarify meaning oneself, Communicate ideas specific audiences Compose multiple genres, modes, and media meet moments of 21st century rhetorical situations Create reiterative writing processes generate and revise ideas Construct writer’s identity interact with the authorial choices others and of self, Each enacted values evoke "writing-as-travel" experiences manifest author-self interactions material immaterial writing activities. Curious learn discourse communities, writing-as-travel, and author-self interactions shape learning in course? Curiosity good place to start. We Are Many (Pablo Neruda) many men I am, we are, I cannot settle single one, me under cover clothing, departed another city. everything seems set, to show me off as a man of intelligence, keep concealed person takes over and occupies my mouth, other occasions, am dozing midst of people some distinction, and when I summon my courageous self, coward completely unknown me, swaddles poor skeleton thousand tiny reservations, stately home bursts into flames, instead fireman summon, arsonist bursts on the scene, he is I. is nothing I can do. must distinguish myself? I put myself together? All books I read, lionize dazzling hero figures, brimming self-assurance, die with envy of them; films bullets fly on wind, I am left in envy of the cowboys, admiring even the horses. I call upon my DASHING BEING, out comes same OLD LAZY SELF, I never know just WHO I AM, nor WHO WE WILL BE BEING, I would like to be able to touch a bell, my real self, truly me, I need my proper self, I must not allow myself to disappear, While I am writing, I am far away; when I come back, I have already left, I should like to see if the same thing happens, other people as it does to me, see if as many people are as I am, if they seem the same way to themselves, this problem has been thoroughly explored, I going to school myself so well in things, when I try to explain my problems, I shall speak, not of self, but of geography. What is Literacy? (James Paul Gee) Piece of folk wisdom part what linguists define words technical meaning to old term "discourse" A socially accepted association among ways of using language, of thinking, and of acting that can be used to identify oneself as a member of a socially meaningful group or "social network" "Identity kit" costume and instructions to act and talk to take a particular role other recognize, "trained" learned to speak, think and act like linguist and recognize others when they do, large discourse of linguistics contains sub- discourses, different socially accepted ways of being a linguist, But master discourse is not just sum of it parts, it's something over and above them, every act of speaking, writing and behaving linguist does as a linguist is meaningful against background of social institution of linguistic, made of concrete things like people, books, and buildings; abstract things like universities, journals and publishers; a shared history and story. Being an American, being man or woman. 1. Discourses are inherently "Ideological" crucially involve a set of values and viewpoints while being in the discourse otherwise one doesn't count as being in it. 2. Discourses are resistant to internal criticism and self-scrutiny. 3. Discourses defined positions from which to speak and behave are not, however, just defined by internal to a discourse, but also a standpoints taken up by the discourse in its relation to other, ultimately opposing discourses. 4. Any discourse concerns itself with certain objects and put forward certain concepts, viewpoints and values at the expense of other. 5. Discourses are intimately related to the distribution of social power and hierarchical structure in society. Acquisition of social goods (Money, Power, status) social goods in a society "dominant discourse" Acquisition is a process of acquiring something subconsciously by exposure to models and a process of trial and error, without a process of formal teaching, Learning is a process that involved conscious knowledge gained through teaching meta-knowledge There is an up side and a down side to both that can be expressed as follows "we are better at what we acquire, but we consciously know more about what we learned " acquisition is good for performing, learning is good for meta-level knowledge, oral mode birthright primary socialization within the family culture function like extended families, secondary discourses institutions (workplace, schools businesses, churches) . Literacy is control of secondary uses of language, Dominant literacy is a control of secondary use language used in what called a dominant discourse.
