Below you are going to find my DC map & Response assignment. This assignment is intended to show the way my writing is developed in the different discourse communities I belong to. I put myself as brother because it is my family, I put myself as a student because is my educational development and finally I put myself as a professional because we all need money and be responsable.

Introduction
I am going to write about the two discourse communities I prefer to talk about. The first one is my personal discourse community which is to be the oldest brother. I decided to choose this one because I take it as a privilege because it is a big responsibility since I am the oldest brother. My other discourse community is the academic. In this I talk about my future and the importance of being a student.
Personal Discourse Community
In my Personal discourse community my audience is my parents, my brother, and my sister. Each one of them is completely different. My brother and my mother are so similar about everything. They have the same character which in some times it is not good. My dad, my sister and I are so similar too. These because all 3 have the same character but we use to be more relax than my mother and brother.
My Purpose of being the oldest brother is to be the role model. I need to be very secure of my self at the time of teaching lessons. Also I need to be taken care of them because I know they are my responsibility. I love them very much so they need to see myself as a good person and not a trouble maker. For that reason I try to be the best I can because I want them to be happy.
The typical genre is to have always a way of communication between each other. This can be an iPod, cell phone, computer, etc. This because we are used to be texting each other if they need something or just to say hello to each other when we don’t see each other. The main genre I think would be the computer, my sister and I use it a lot no matter where we are.
The topics in my discourse community are many but all have the same thing in common family. I always try to be talking with them about the importance of family. With this I mean that we have just each other. No one can get between us because we are very close to each other. I think they know and I have proved them that for me family is always first.
There are not that many rules in my personal discourse community. This is because each one thinks different so it would be bored and complicates if we put rules. Basically the only rule that exists is that we should not be fighting between each other. I must say it is complicated and we start fighting but at the end we laugh about the things for which we start fighting.
The special language used is no one. The only one is to be honest between each other. There is a rule about not bad words. This because I don’t believe in saying bad words at every moment for this reason I don’t say it never neither they do it. There is really no way to be a member in this discourse community because this is a community that was created the day my brother and sister born do no else can get into it. It is a very exclusive discourse community.
Academic Discourse Community
My audience members in this community are my teachers, classmates, and my family. The purposes of writing in this discourse community are many. I need to take notes, study for the exams, and much other stuff. This is because I need to be more efficient and at the same time I need to improve my grades so I can have a better work when I finish studying.
The genres used are laptops, textbooks, eBooks, and notebooks, just for saying the most important. The topics used in this discourse community are several. I cannot mention them because it depends on the class I have so for that reason I cannot say there is a specific topic but the one we do have is to finish university successfully.
The rules in this discourse community are to be on time, no cheating, be respectful, be responsible, be honest, be on time. There are many rules in this discourse community but the most important are just to have good moral values because these led to do nothing incorrect. The special language used in this discourse community is a professional one. No bad words, no funny staff and just academic professional language.
In order to be part of this discourse community you shall be studying university. Also you should be focus on what you want to be. This because you cannot regret of your career at the time you are almost finish because that would be a big waste of time and money.
Conclusion
There are two discourse communities very different. One follows the ethic life and love between family and the other discourse community focuses more in an academic one, it does include values but just for the professional. At the same time we can say they are related because we need values and moral ethic in both so they are a little related. The Personal academic community is a very unique. This is because no one can enter and we are going to be just us 3 and no more. The other discuss community is not that exclusive but at the end will bring us a lot of amazing things.
