Primary Discourse

Themes are organizational and explanatory markers which connect and integrate diverse experiences and create and maintain continuity. Themes fall into different types. Some are sources of meaning from the past such as the influences of money, rural or urban upbringing, class status, education,

Introduction ‘Language gives shape and organisation to thought’ (Winch, Ross- Johnston, March, Ljungdahl & Holliday, 2010. Pg 467). Several fascinating aspects of language include it being a form of communication, which interprets information and passes messages from one person to another. For each individual language is different due to cultural backgrounds and beliefs, different communities and also the individuals’ capabilities. Speaking to a person verbally is not the only form of language, it can be writing, reading, listening and even body language.

The writer is trying to prove that without a strong central government the country will not make any significant advancements. The author of the newspaper is trying to convince the people that all of these negative effects are because of the lack of a strong federal government. Additionally, in George Washington's letter to John Jay, he declares that “We have probably have too good an opinion of human nature in forming our confederation...thirteen sovereign, independent, disunited States are in the habit off...refusing compliance with[our

When the United States first gained their independence from Britain they needed to create a strong government for their colonies. The United States created their first government called the Articles of Confederation. The Articles came with many problems like no power to tax, no power to enforce the law, or regulate commerce. 10 years after having a weak government, they believed that a new type of government need to be created in order to become a strong government. They came up with the Constitution.

One of the first officials records of the United States was The Articles of Confederation. From the earliest starting point of the American Revolution, Congress felt it was essential for a more grounded and stronger union and a legislature sufficiently effective to thrashing Great Britain. Following a couple short years, the Articles were supplanted by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Articles were a stepping stone which prompted the Constitution however the Articles contained a larger number of shortcomings which constrained the colonists to dispose of them and create a new document. Preceding the Revolutionary War, large portions of the first thirteen colonial assemblies made regional claims to these areas which postponed the adoption of the Articles of Confederation.

“The True Importance of Christopher Columbus” can be an eye opener. It presents facts that allow people without much knowledge of Columbus or early exploration and colonization to understand what really happened on these voyages to the new world. Terrible things happened during America’s transition from Europe’s newly discovered land to the thirteen colonies. The section of “The True Importance of Christopher Columbus” that is most prominent to me was the lies and half truths within textbooks. It’s hard to believe that something many students are required to read for education could completely misinform students and cause the complete opposite effect that we all expect it to.

Meaning-making is the way media helps us make sense of the world around us. There are two big studies part of this era is the study of symbols both verbal and non verbal is one of them. There are three types of symbols; personal for smaller groups like family, social is something in common with a society, and archtypal are symbols that can be used in different countries but mean the same thing. Additionally, in 1966 Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann published a book titled, The Social Construction of Reality. In this book they described that humans co created shared meaning in cultural settings.

One way in which immigrant religious institutions often differ from those in the home country is that they develop community centers. Alongside, with places of worship, social spaces, and activities whose function it is to maintain social cohesion among members and the passing on of both religious and ethnic culture to the next generation. (Dillon, 2003:231)

This essay discusses the definition of culture, cultural encounters, and the representation of this issue in the story. Culture is defined by characteristics that are shared by a group of people. It is usually represented by language, religion, cuisine, traditional clothes, music, arts, and is dependent on social habits. Therefore, culture plays a major role in an individual’s perspective of life and his/her personality. Cultures have differed than each other, depending on the places they were established in, the way of survival people pursued to acclimate with different circumstances, and how they shared their experiences with each other.

Declared in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN, 1948), education is recognized as a fundamental human right and a key component contributing to the development of societies. Yet there are many people on earth have not been able to get educated. In order to solve the problem, it is proposed that all education (including primary, secondary and higher education) should be free all over world and governments should be those funding the tuition fees. This paper critically hightlights the significances and also rebut the objection of free education. Before further analysis, the writer is going to point out some definitions and add facts and figures.

One of these rough patches was the Articles of Confederation, which taught us that a balance of power is of great importance. We abandoned the Articles of Confederation and adopted a new Constitution because of State powers, and lack of Congressional powers. The fear of a Central Government like Great Britain led The United States away from having such a strong Central Government. So the States were given autonomy to make most decisions & have many powers under early American Government. The States could never be enforced to do anything, except for war and closing borders, the States could

The new states needed to unify under one constitution and they needed to establish a soverign central government. The Articles of Confederation was a significant step toward national unity. Most American historians said that the Articles of Confederation were insignificant because of the subsidiary position occupied by the central government. The new states needed a central government. Congress had little power to impose upon the states.

He mapped out what he wanted in a good government to be.What Jefferson wrote in the declaration of independence was not supported by the dreams of the new Constitution. The constitution did not support the style of government talked about by T.J. because for one, there wasn 't much room for the power of the people to change their government if they see fit. Secondly it did not give the citizens of the U.S. clear, mapped out “unalienable rights”. Lastly the Constitution did not provide guards for citizens future security in the government as laid out by T.J. in the

With a weak central government, they would bolster for stronger power in the states. Key Anti Federalists were known as: John Hancock, Patrick Henry, and George Mason. This congregation of Anti Federalists promoted a document known as the Articles of Confederation. This document served as the United State 's first constitution, even though it was never ratified. With that, they believed that the constitution drafted by the Federalists was not enough to protect individual rights.

Everyone has a Discourse, whether they are aware of it or not. One might ask, “What is a Discourse”? James Paul Gee’s Literacy, Discourse and Linguistics: Introduction states, “Discourses are ways of being in the world; they are a form of life which integrate words, acts, values, beliefs, attitudes, and social identities as well as gestures, glances, body positions, and clothes” (6-7). Entering the writing Discourse may be difficult, as there are many styles and versions. It is common to come upon many styles of writing such as college level writing, scientific writing and technical/business communication.
