This paper is going to discuss about the significance of discourse community that shares a variety of discourses, which understood and analyze basic assumptions and values to communicating perceived goals and perspectives. Example of the chosen discourse community is about the private alliances of the community hospital’s doctors, nurses, dentists, and other health care workers, and investors who formed a group to provide monthly medical and dental mission. For this reason, it seeks to value about the significance of improving traditions, values, and interests that are being agreed by the members of similar group. For this action, the discourse community helps to empower others so that there will be a suggested outcome that can be agreed as well as to be validated by the members of the community. In a certain society, there are various discourse groups, who are both formed in a formal way. Other discourse groups are established in an informal way, which is established through a verbal way of establishing a new form of community selection experience.

The purpose of discourse group is to provide an empowerment to the community by means of allowing the members of the group to provide basic services to the society. This includes creating humanitarian efforts, to gather as a support group, and to establish an advocacy to increase awareness about the social issues and norms that is creating social intimidation or scandal as an instance. The importance of forming a discourse group is simply to provide more knowledge to the public regarding a certain issue that needs to be ratified or changed. This includes social practices that are no longer practiced, which is seeking the public to develop more ways to enhance knowledge and experience in order to become more valuable as well as to be socially proactive. However, there are discourse group that are operating illegally, making them as a liability to the society.

John Swales criteria

The chosen community, such as the alliances of doctors and allied health care workers in the general hospital has a broad set of agreed public goals such as providing monthly medical and dental missions of the community. There is a mechanism of communication established within its members such as the use of constant rapport being managed on an everyday basis whenever they are working together in the hospital as a regular working day. Participatory mechanisms are provided by the group that aims to provide feedback and information through meetings and trainings. This is to allow all members to tackle all agenda that will be undertaken every medical and dental mission provided to the community that they have been targeting. This is to know any weaknesses aside from knowing about the strengths of the missions and achievements, which will be used to help determining effective scenario that will limit errors every medical mission.

Utilizing professionalism, which is an important background that would help to determine the cause of having an effective and efficient management of services that can be provided every each participative activity that are provided by each members of the community. Another is about the owning genres as well as specified lexis being applied as a mode of communication to the community. This includes using a general language in order to establish effective communication activities, which could help to prevent any issues of misunderstandings between other members of the community. And the sixth defining characteristics are by having the threshold level of members that is essential t provide a systematic discourse and content expertise. This is observed by allowing each members of the discourse community to use their profession, which replicate their working environment within the community service while rendering medical and dental mission to the patients.

Observed activities from the discourse community

Basing from the observation, the discourse community has been effectively establishing their presence to the community of target by creating numerous informative flyers, billboards, and pamphlets in order to improve knowledge and awareness about the free medical and dental mission. It has been an effective information and dissemination campaign that has been enacted by the members of the discourse group so that they can effectively gain trust and cooperation for the members of the community who are seeking for free services. It is a hospitable activity because there is a need for optimism regarding the purpose of the procedure to the community of concern. The ethnography analysis that has been applied with the members of the community is about the need to render medical culture in order to prevent any disease risks that can impact the health of the society such as cure.

The leaders of the discourse community have been known to reach out the core groups of the community such as the local government units. The leaders of the community will then relay the information to the local residents so that they can help to understand and increase their understanding about the implications of the discourse community. Reaching out to the core groups is important because the community is always relying on their leaders to practice a certain culture or to obey some rules and regulations to keep the society to be more productive in the future. Reaching out directly with the local residents with the group leaders from the subunit of the community helps to assure that the mission will be successfully materialized. It helps the members of the discourse community to have the chance to increase their knowledge and understanding so that they can join desirable incidents in the future.

Reaching out with the local mass media such as radio station guesting in radio station allows the locals to hear about the representatives of the discourse to imply about their mission and vision of their medical related activities to the area. Appearing as guests in local television shows allows individuals to become more visible in the public eye, which could help to improve the integrity and the structure of the community to appreciate the representative’s efforts by voluntarily guesting in several television programs. Enlisting discourse community’s activities on the print media is another significant event because it creates an informal dialogue from the locals regarding the services that can be rendered in the future. During guestings, there are dialogues being presented to the audiences, which would tackle sensitive issues that could affect the integrity of the community as well as the participating health care professionals as a whole.

On the discourse meeting as well as actual medical and dental mission of the private group, there has been a dialogue, in which the representatives of the discourse are going to allow the public to educate regarding the process on how to get involved with the medical and dental procedures. This includes allowing all participating community members to approach the physician in order to medically examine while they are being guided by the nurse and other allied health care professional. After which, they were requested to see the pharmacists in order to claim their free prescription medications in order to improve their health and wellness. As expected, there are questions from the locals regarding the procedures that are being followed by other patients, which help to clarify unclear issues that concern more about the process of the medical mission of the affected community. Clarifications will formulate a concern that will be able to manage each service efficiently (Miller, p. 69).

Implication

It has been learned that the discourse community being observed is one of the most important role models that has been observed. It is because it provides free medical and dental services that are being provided on a monthly basis. In this case, the discourse community is considered as an asset of the community for the reason that they provide services that aims to improve the health and wellness of the community. The medical mission discourse group is providing a service that is coming out from their personal finances that aims to improve the condition of the society by preventing all prevalence of diseases across the community. It is a role modeling practice being implemented by the discourse so that their integrity will significantly elevated by helping to promote positive environment as well as helping others who are in need of medical care (Bizzell, n.p.).

The recommendations that can be applied with the group are to provide trainings and seminars that are going to be rendered on a regular basis. The reason behind is that it seeks to improve the complexities that can be managed to the members of the community regarding the application of new norms and standards in order to promote health empowerment. The skills and knowledge of the involved members of the discourse group can be further escalated because there has been a relevant action that promotes justification of new standard, which can enhance ethical practice to be well-maintained. Discourse community has been always playing an important role for allowing the members to improve their customer service when dealing with normal job description attributed from the monthly medical mission. It is because sustaining productivity by enhancing new discourse substance can elicit positive environment such as trusting relationship with the members of the community that received quality service from the discourse group.
