Gym: The gym is one of the discourse communities that I participate in. Many say that exercise is nature’s pain killer. Studies actually show that when you get your blood flowing and your body moving, you release endorphins which combat stress. People that attend the gym are all there for certain goals or reasons. Exercise makes you feel good about yourself and achieving your fitness goals makes you want to keep going. 

Working Customer service: I consider my job one of the discourse communities I participate in. We are a union who support each other. Workplaces who have a positive community are more likely to have high employee morale. 

Being a New Yorker: I consider being a New Yorker is a discourse community because we have our way of communicating with each other. Being a New Yorker we have a sense of style during different weathers and trends.
