Discourse/discourse
To me Gee is saying if u want somethings in life sometimes you have to fit the part. you might be a good person but lets say you want a job its not about your real side its the ways the company looks at you that tells you if your going to get the job or not. the people with power and money say whats right or wrong and even if you hate it you have to dress up or speak the right way other wise you will most likely not get the job. I AGREE with him because even though people say its bad to judge everyone does it and if u want to get in college or get a job you will be getting judged so if you fit the part it will be so much easyer.

Actually, Pricilla, I don't think Gee is suggesting that those in the nondominant culture need to change. Rather, I think he's suggesting that the Dominant Culture needs to change--that it's racist, sexist, homophobic, and classist. That if we want students of diverse backgrounds to go to the university, we have to allow those of other Discourse in!
ReplyDeleteGee is actually saying be your own person, but don't be afraid to try new things. He is saying that the majority of people that are dominant are successful and it comes from being heard and not running away from challenges.
