Quote#1:âtypically textbooks and tests,run some 5-10 years or so before they are reused or replacedâ.
Response:This is an opinion and not a fact (my dogma) because look at Harry Potter by J.K Rowling that her novels last 18 years to present which is outstanding for a book.I believe that when or if an author changed a word or a sentence ,they literally changed the whole plot of the story which results the book could be less popular .
Quote#2: âThe urban environment provides services that are helpful to the university,such as cheap student housing,cheap restaurants,museums and more bookshopsâ.
Response:Well,you don’t have to ask or tell that Iâm 100% sure everyone can relate to this view into the crisis we all humans endure.Judging the fact that governors and mayors play a major role in their respective states.I can say that they will always a problem we can live up to solve.

1.Quote: âIn consequence, when a University becomes established in a town, the presence of this constellation of discourse communities influence the wider urban environment; as a result, the urban environment provides services that are helpful to university such as cheap student housing.â
Response: This statement doesnât apply to most urban communities. Coming from experience student housing are very expensive. I had to take out a loan to help cover the cost because I couldnât afford it on my own.
2.Quote: âIn todayâs more unsettled and uncertain world, it looms larger as a problem, in particular, the concept did not firmly or covertly address how people either join or leave DCs.â
Response:This quote stood out to me because often times we see a certain group such as Fraternities and sororities and we think it so cool and want to join. Either for the dances or for respect. But little do we know the hard work that you have to put in just to join or be apart of their sister hood or brother hood. And when it comes to greek life I feel that is better to have a passion for it rather than joining it for the looks because it is an investment and it not an easy cross.
Three Discourse communities:
1. Step Team
I joined the step team at UB my freshman year and that was one of the best decisions that I ever made. Being part of a team like that felt like family, through this I meet some of my best friends. We worked well with each other, valued each other, and had similar goals, this made working together as a team easier. Being part of a group like that made me feel like I was at home, we won many competitions together with hard work and dedication.
2. EOP
-EOP stands for Educational Opportunity Program for low-income student to be able to attend a college they may not be able to afford. Through the program I met a lot of people who were interested in going to dental school. Talking to them helped me learn more about the classes that I need and steps that I need to take to get it. Before getting into the EOP I never really met much people who shared the same interest in what I wanted to do. It felt nice being around people who had similar goals as I did. Also the EOP offered a lot of help financially (book vouchers, etc.), and they offered a lot of free torturing programs. One thing I really liked about this program is that everyone had their own advisor compared to everyone else on campus
3. PGC (Peer Group Connection)
-In high school I joined a program called peer group connect in which our main focus and goal was to help freshman transition into high school. It was technically an advisory class, but we the students were the advisors. Within this program we mainly focused on team building activities. We wanted to become a support system for the freshmanâs , to be able to relate to them, share our experience with them so they could feel comfortable enough to confined in us.
