   A dominate discourse is believing in what a large group believes in for example there is a dominate discourse against the use of drugs. on site D this was one of my favorite one because its saying people today believe in anything a large population, it like if we jump I'll jump because there doing it because everyone thinks its cool, but  you should create you own opinion and have your own idea. For example the people around me listen to hip-hop/ rap music and we see it as poetic and it let's artist releases his talent, so most teenagers view our music is the best to listen to so we have a dominate discourse on hip hop music, but instead we should listen all kinds of music because you need a lot of talent to create music we should accept it, because rapper use other types of music so they can sample it and use it in there own beat. to relate to what we are talking about in class there is a dominate discourse that if you eat the wrong type of food it leads to an unhealthy diet and can cause obesity and other conditions. reading of the articles about food, Americans don't really care about there diet, in the article it mentions how the nation thinks about there diet. "The nation has long had a complicated relationship with vegetables. People know that vegetables can improve health. But they’re a lot of work. In refrigerators all over the country, produce often dies a slow, limp death because life becomes too busy."(By KIM SEVERSON Published: September 24, 2010,Told to Eat Its Vegetables, America Orders Fries) i think that its this reason and because America is so commercialized that its hard for children to make the right choice if they are filled with cartoon characters that have unhealthy food next to them.
