My Discourse Community


As stated in my previous blog, I will be focusing on the Mexican Soccer league, or Liga MX, Mexico's top division of soccer, and where only the best Mexican teams compete. Although this can be a very broad community, there are so many ways that it can be considered as unique, with some characteristics that only fans of this league will know. The reason I believe it can be considered as a discourse community is because there are many features that only this leagues fans will know about and there are many ways fans of the league can communicate to others and even to the league itself. Although big, there are many reasons it can be a discourse community. Some of these fans are able to connect with each other through social media, specifically, Instagram group chats, like one I myself am in. I am part of a community who talk about Chivas, one of the more popular teams, and talk about how the team could improve and what they should do in order to become better, or just trash tell them because they had a bad game. The best part of it is that some players are part of the community, and can read what their fans say, and sometimes will answer back, which to me is very cool. Rebaño Pasión - Noticias del Club Deportivo Guadalajara

Something that I have always wanted to do was become more involved with the leagues somehow and one day leave my mark. I have always dreamed of either coaching or directing a team in the league, and one day doing something so important that I leave as a legend. Obviously, that's something so out of the park and probably impossible, but a man can dream. I've always wanted to connect deeper and see the behind the scenes of what truly happens. I'd want to see what the owners of all this truly want and what the league truly means to them, because there has been some very questionable ideas and rumors about it. Mexican president calls to investigate “The Goal Cartel,” a corruption network within the country’s soccer industry - Aztec Reports

Reading and Writing in my Life. Do I Like it?

   Do I even Know how to Read and Write?   Hey everyone, my name is Rogelio Hernandez, and I am currently a freshman at SDSU majoring in Psychology. I know that seems basic because a LOT of people are into psych, but it’s something I’ve always been interested in. I’m hoping to one day become a therapist or a counselor at a school to be able to help out others in situations I have also been in. Although psychology doesn’t really require a lot of good writing, it does require a good amount of reading, and reading has never been my strong point at times. It's something essential in our day-to-day life, and no matter where you work, you will need to read and write stuff. I have always been a decent writer to say the least, but reading is where it may get tricky, I have had many experiences with it, some good and some, well let me explain it.  The Mental Health Benefits of Reading | Psychology Today        When it comes to writing, I have always been a...

Important Beliefs, Goals and Values of Liga MX.

Image
  "Los Jovenes Mexicanos deben de ser usados", is something almost all, if not every, Liga Mx fan has said once in their time of watching the league. Young prospects are something that fans value so much in the league, as we all believe that they are the players who do deserve a chance, instead of foreigners who are not even that good, and are really overpaid. If there is something all Mexican soccer fans can agree on, is that they'd rather play with a very talented 18-year-old, who actually runs and has heart to play, than a 27-year-old who, although has experience, plays with no passion and has no right to be playing for that team. A way the league has tried to implement the usage of younger players is with the "Regla de Menores", which is a law that all teams have to follow, where it consists of needing to obtain a certain number of minutes for players younger than 23 in order to not get fined.  Liga MX: ¿Cómo funcionará y que sanción recibiran los clubes que...

Reflection

  Reflective Blog  Coming into this class, after reading the description, I felt like it was going to be similar to my AP Language and Composition class. Learning about rhetoric, writing long essays and reading various articles were some of the things I was mentally preparing myself for. I was a bit excited at first, but since I was thinking it was going to be like AP Lang, I was a bit nervous too. Oh was I wrong. It was the complete opposite and unlike AP Lang, I actually really enjoyed RWS 100. I learned new information and tactics to write even better, while also having fun doing it.  The assignments that I would engage in were very concise, yet made you elaborate and think thoroughly about what you were going to say. What I also liked a lot were the discussion boards. The reason I liked them so much was because after writing your thoughts down, you were able to read your classmates' thoughts and even get ideas from them to include in your own work.
