Product Overview
To be an excellent student one must acquire a Discourse, a way of being in the world,
Discourses are forms of life which integrate words, acts, values, beliefs, gestures, body
positions, and clothes. Discourses are identity kits which is ones costume and instructions on
how to act, talk, and often write. Each person has a different discourse, the type of person you
are determines your Discourse. What you do, your job, or even your social class can determine
the Discourse you have because those things determines the type of person you are.

Primary Discourse is the first Discourse learned, it is learned to make sense of the world and
everyone has a Primary Discourse, it's our original home-based sense of identity. Secondary
Discourse can be either dominant or nondominant. Dominant Discourse is more related toward
the goods which includes money, status, and prestige. Non Dominant Discourse brings
solidarity toward a social network.
