Discourse Analysis Worksheets:
Statement:
In my discourse of dentistry there are many ways of doing, saying, valuing, and believing demonstrated. It was very helpful to point how these things can be shown by doing these worksheets. While doing these worksheets and reading my artifacts it helped me to learn the combinations of this specific discourse known as dentistry. It was shown that there can be many ways of showing value within this discourse. The values that can be shown through satisfaction of a patient’s overall experience and through the pride the dentist takes in an operation through the knowledge they have developed. Also the ways of being a dentist isn’t just about being a doctor, they are also a model for their patients, or even friends in a way. There is an amount of trust gained to form a relationship between a dentist and patient. Although of course they do have to do the task they are expected to do it is easier with a relationship. The doing can vary depending on the type of dentist they are. Which is why there are many combinations in dentistry, such as orthodontics. Depending in the part of dentistry someone is fluent in will depend on the way they speak, or find meaning to certain words. Some do their daily routines different than other. Which is fine because even though they do things differently they are still overall in the dentistry discourse.
