Some of the discourse communities that I consider myself a part of are communities such as students, young adults, stock traders, entrepreneurs, and gym members. My cultural artifact from the last writing assignment was the show “SpongeBob SquarePants” and I think young adults would be able to relate to this artifact. People around the age 18 will most likely remember this show due to the fact It was extremely popular throughout the 2000s and even after 2010. If I were to have a conversation to someone from the young adult’s discourse community, it would be a pleasant conversation. The other person would have similar views as me and agree to the fact that the show was funny and educational in various ways. They would relate to SpongeBob’s kind and optimistic character and how it influenced them, even if it’s a minor impact. A real story about this is when I discussed my previous draft with my peers in my class, and we had a conversation where they also remembered watching SpongeBob as a kid and recall SpongeBob and his funny and positive character. Someone outside our discourse community, maybe adults age 40 and older wouldn’t be able to relate and would need to watch the actual show to understand what we would be talking about in the conversation.

As a young adult, how has Spongebob scultped your personality and moral versus how would it affect someone who is not a young adult? Use this to emphasize the reason why the show was so significant to you.
