I feel that Gee's article is true as he informs his audience with all the different types of discourses and different ways that other superior people feel that we should adapt to. It seems he doesn't necessarily agree with some of these discourses because through his writing, I can tell that he feels that people should be more diverse and accept more cultures and backgrounds than what the media or what society tells people to accept or be like. However, he isn't biased with it either. He just plainly informs that people of higher status expect other to be like them or have the same discourse.
However, it some cases, having a different discourse is necessary when it comes to jobs and what you need to know to succeed. If you are going to be in the medical field, you have to know the language of medicine and know all of the boundaries and what and what not to do. If you don't... then... well... SOL. So having that kind of a discourse is okay to me. But I feel that no one should have to accommodate to any other person's way of life and how they do things, even though sometimes we don't have a choice. I think that society should broaden their horizon and accept people for who they are.

That is true. when you go into a serious field then yes their has to be some kind of professionalism. Knowing that you have some ones life in your hands, and one must come to the hospital presentable. Yet their does need to be some exception to open the door way for more people .
