Page 20 Question 3

I feel that discourse is a powerful thing because without it we would have no means of effectivly communicating our thoughts to one another. It isnt just speaking in a certain language but any means of communication, whether it be through sing language or what we see on television. Discourse is said to be more of an argument or a debate. Therefore it can be dangerous because if we feel very strongly about something and have alot of emotion behind our facts we will not be able to effectively get our points across. People who believe themselves to be "expertise" feel that they are better at proving others wrong and pushing what they believe is right onto others. And if you are not an "expertise" than those who have more knowledge might not feel that we are adequate enough to share their ideas and their input. I feel that it is not right to not be able to let someone speak because they are not known as an "expertise." Everyone has an opinion about something and without discourse we would not be able to see different sides to beliefs we have.
