Resistance is only valuable to persons or communities who display resistance; it is a way of sharing their opinion. Resistance has been around since Adam an Eve, and I don’t see it going any where any time soon. The point of looking at different discourse communities is simply seeing how others live; how they make choices, and why do they make the choices they make. Look at our community of laws that protects children, I really think this is necessary for Department of Family Children Services to always look into other communities when children are abused. Look what’s happening now with the 400 plus children in state custody, we went to their community, and took their children from what they ever knew. I believe child abuse is wrong, but in their own discourse community it’s justified as right. Even though they feel as if they have their own laws, they are judged by our community of laws. These children are now in a new community, which they have no clue, but hopefully they will adjust easily. Now, that’s one great point of looking at different communities, our world is set up to protect children. Discourse communities are created because everyone has different ways of living, different religions, different statuses, and races. I’m thrilled we created communities, because some communities shouldn’t even exist. This semester, I’ve learned what the term discourse community was, I knew what it was, but I didn’t know it had a name. Also learned that in time, you can conform to other discourse communities, and I treasure the values my community has.
