For Monday, August 29, I'd like you to find a YouTube video in which you can identify at least two distinctive Discourses. Embed the video on your blog. Then, characterize (in some writing) the different Discourses you see. Are they in alignment? Do they collide? Do they create humor? Something else?
"Perfect Strangers" is a great example of an entire show based on Discourses. Balki of Mepos is the foreign character, with an entirely different identity to everyone in the show! He is ethnically, culturally, racial, socially, and physically different than everyone else. Larry Appleton is the stereotypical american with all american ways .. and the entire show is set around the comical differences of these people ... They express the discourses in their own identities as being "Perfect Strangers!"
