Surname 1 Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Civil Discourse Civil discourse, also known as civil engagement, is the process of taking responsibility to improve concerns in the community. It is a tool connecting people with the same values and missions. In simple terms, it can be as easy as starting a simple conversation about a growing concern (via social media or in person) or taking some action. For example, is when people participate in town hall forums. A presenter, usually an elected official, starts a discussion, and people in the audience can ask the presenter direct questions. People can work together to improve the quality of life and provide value for the public. The essay explores some of the practical and ineffective, or suitable or unsuitable practices of being involved in the civil discourse. The essay uses two blog examples to explain the concept of civil discourse. Example 1 The comment reads - until one has a baby of their own, one cannot understand that you can't explain to a kid (of up to 5 years) that they must sit quietly! (daily mail np) What makes the commentator qualified? The writer wants to understand “how culture influences human behaviour”. The mother's behaviour of distributing plastic bags to 200 passengers astonishes the commentator; therefore, from the above comment, the commentator has a baby of their own Example 2

Surname 2 The comment reads- the government is already collecting your data. They're the most prominent hackers around. (Quora np) What makes the commentator qualified? The author shares insights on “I am a professional hacker”. Judging from the example, the commentator is a citizen who understands the world of hackers and how government works. The language used in this context is enlightening. The Role of Truth, Fact, Spin, and Misinterpretation in Public Disclosure Truth, fact, spin, and misinterpretation are vital in public discourse. It shapes what we can think and know at any point in time. In this logic, sociologists define discourse as a productive force because it shapes our values, beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and interactions with others. In doing so, it regulates more of what occurs within the society and us. Additionally, sociologists view discourse as emerging out of the relation of power because the people in control of institutions such as politics, law, education, and media control how it works. Specifically, knowledge, power, and discourse are closely connected to create stratification. How Do Writers Use Unsupported Assertions and Evidence? When a writer uses an unsupported assertion, the reader cannot know whether the point is valid. Unsupported assertions cast doubt on the validity of a point, no matter how well-reasoned the statement could be. .
