My college English teacher just requested that everyone find a "Discourse Community" that has something to do with the career we have planned for ourselves. A discourse community is pretty much just a group of people who share common interests that get together and share their ideas or give feedback on what ever it is they're meeting for. In this case, it's beauty! Since I'll be starting beauty school soon, what better community to write about than the Beautylish community?!
I have some questions that were given to help gather information to write my paper, so if you guys wanna help me out, go for it!! And thanks so much!! :)
Question 1: What are the specific goals of this community?
Question 2: Why are these goals important?
Question 3: How do member communicate or reach out to one another?
Question 4: What specific genres does this DC employ to work toward their goals?
Question 5: What other "ways of being in the world" are important to this DC?
Beautylish is a diverse and positive community that is ever-evolving. While tastes may be personal, please be respectful in your conversation and withhold judgement or criticism. We're all here to learn and grow.
Contribute Thoughtfully
We encourage you to participate in all conversations, but try to use proper spelling, grammar and capitalization. Your two cents will be taken more seriously if you take the time to present it well.
Stay Relevant and Avoid Self-Promotion
When replying, feel free to link to a blog or video that contains an answer to that thread. Please don't ask people to check your site or act in a self-promotional way out of context. You don’t need to end posts with your blog, YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter—they are displayed in your signature card.
Please don't post contests, giveaways, swaps or exchanges on Beautylish.
Be Yourself
The most rewarding conversations are genuine and authentic with real people. Please don’t use forums to post commercial messages for direct selling purposes or on behalf of a company or commercial enterprise.
Let Us Know
Beautylish doesn’t allow hateful or disrespectful comments. If you see something that seems inappropriate or wrong, please send us a note at help@beautylish.com.
