The definition of a discourse community is a group of people that have the same interest, shared the same goal with one and another, have the same language/ vocabulary, and have communication with one and another. According to John Wales the author of The Concept of Discourse Community. Discourse community can be anything, but it must meet his six characteristics that includes; common goal, intercommunication, members, lexis, information and feedback, and genre. If a group can meet the six characteristics it can be consider as a discourse community. After reading the article, I have realized that there are a lot discourse community among us without we even acknowledge it, for an example; like a book club,a sport club, a culinary club,and a yoga club. The one that I am going to use as an example for the discourse community is my Asian Community. The common goal that my discourse community has is to bring all the Asian youth to become one unity with one and another. My Asian community is a very small discourse community, but despite the size we have one big goal which is to achieve for all the Asian youth to stand together as a unity no matter what languages we speak. This group started because a friend of mine from high school had an idea to bring all Asian students in my high school to just spend quality time together, talk about each other cultures, and relate with one another. She felt there is a distance between all of us in school, and fortunately this group grew bigger. A lot people from the school brought their Asian friends to just come along and eventually it became a community. Everybody is welcome to join the group. My discourse community is a relatively new group; we just started this group about eight months ago. We have at least twelve active members, we meet at least once a month in somebody's house for game nights or movie nights to just reconnect with each other’s. During our meet we usually bring potluck to enrich culture through each other’s foods and to also try something new, and we often discuss what we can do as a group to give back to the community such as volunteering. For our communication, we usually communicate through emails or Facebook messaging, since it is effective and ideal to get the information that way. The other reason also is because we don't live in same town, and we aren't going to same schools or universities. Out of twelve people, we chose one person who is the most creative one of all to be the president, his/her job is to come up with ideas, and we also have an event organizer to make the schedule for meetings and events. We all come from different part of Asia, but the majority of the people in the group come from Southern Asia like Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia. There are some people that come from China, and Korea, because we are very diverse, we communicate in English. As a group we don't really get a lot of feedback, but we give each other ideas on how to make our small community be better, and sustainably bigger.
