After giving much thought to the topic, I've come to the realization that I am a part of many discourse communities. A few of them are; The American Society of Civil Engineers, The International Union of Operating Engineers and The Islamic Committee of Long Island. To keep this forum interesting, I will be talking about the International Union of Operating Engineers (15D) also known as the Surveyors Union. I chose this Union because I feel these are the key components of any successful construction project and deserve recognition. I've attached a photo of a Total Station for reference.

My discourse community is basketball. When I play basketball with my friends, it's more than just throwing a ball into the hoop, but it comes with the style on how it's played. For instance, when defending the opposite team, you have to call plays for your teammates so, they keep on track. One of these plays are "drive" which means that a player ran with full speed towards the basket with the ball in they're hand. Another example is "long bomb" meaning a player took a really far shot behind the three point the line (the farthest line on the court). The basketball slang does play a roll in my discourse community because it allows only in my group to understand what I am saying to make places and gives us more opportutnity to win.

My discourse community Is a Soccer team community, we play from June to August every Saturday just for fun. we don’t play on a turf field but an actual field, so we all work together to keep the field clean. One of my teammates is the manager of the buildings, so he set up sprinklers on the field. Everyone does something to help, for example, one person bought the goals, another the pennies, and I repair and buy the nets for the goals.

There are many communities in our society, each of which has a field and a nation.  I am affiliated with a committee.  That committee is located next to us. Its name is the Islamic community. We come here to do for all the good things.  Like How to help people.  Which words we can talk to them and which words we should not say.  And we have a lot of people's culture that we actually discuss these from the good side to the bad side and inspire everyone with the goal of solving a problem.

Example: As we explain them in this way, we start with the cigarettes and end with the heroin.  We try to convince them that by making small mistakes, people can make big mistakes.

One discourse community that I belong to is when I play video games such as Call of Duty, a first person shooter. I have been playing COD for about 8 years now and because of that I am accustomed to a certain language that only makes sense when playing. For example one of the phrases I would say is “he’s cracked”, which simply means I shot my opponent so much that he or she is one or two bullets away from dying. Relating to “he’s cracked” I also use “he’s one shot” which means my opponent is one bullet away from dying. Other slang I would use when playing COD is “he’s camping, window, one off, streaks, tap me, etc.”

My DC community is the West Indian labor  day carnival. Which takes places on labor day each year.  In Crown Height Brooklyn. This is an annual event and a lot of fun.  This is a festive celebration with hundreds of spectators, and participants. Not only from the numerous Caribbean Islands but from around the globe who come out to watch and enjoy the parade. I enjoy wearing the outrageous but attractive costumes,  cultural music, and foods.  I am also a member of my church health care ministries. We are a team of nurses and doctors who provides education and screening in the community. On numerous health issues such as diabetes hypertension, self care and nutrition.  We also conduct health fairs.

I can help to bring awareness. Another amazing DC I admire is nurses and doctors without borders. I am not a member but know healthcare workers who does. I would love to volunteer my services.
