While reading about the discourse communities, I mostly obtained a definition of what it is and looks like. With discourse, communities are initially where a group of people shares a common interest and idea of expectations, participation, and ways of expression. Then you have the concept of communities of practice. This is when a group of complex people shares a way of being that may be different compared to other organizations. I think these definitions were explained with a verbal representation of what these communities could potentially look like and involve. When it comes to the groups that I involve myself in, they vary. I am a part of the swimming community, and I have been for the past 12 years. I am a part of the black circle that involves people that look at me and have potentially had similar experiences. I have also named myself as a part of the wannabe makeup guru organization. It’s just a place to grow and develop my skills in terms of makeup. I am a member of those who have experience living in a single-parent household. While many people could live in these circumstances, the reasons may vary! Then lastly, I am in the community of being a Christan. My faith has become something fundamental to me during my time in quarantine, which I am very aware and appreciative of.
