Discourse being used in your daily life
How do you see discourse being used in your daily life and the world around you?
How is discourse spread through social media?
What do the audience, purpose, and tone have to do with discourse?
When engaging in discourse on social media, understanding the audience you are speaking to is key; this helps users tailor their message accordingly by considering matters such as age, gender, cultural background or other factors that could impact how someone perceives your words. Additionally, setting a purpose for why you are sharing something can help guide your thoughts as well as help others better understand your intentions. Finally, the tone used when writing will also influence how readers interpret messages; for example using a more formal style when discussing current events versus making jokes about them might leave different impressions on viewers.
Overall I think it’s important for all individuals who engage in discourse to remember its potential impacts – both positive and negative. In today’s modern society we have access to virtually limitless outlets for expression which should be treated responsibly with thoughtfulness towards our fellow peers and communities at large.
