How to use video to build communities and for activismManuela Senatore
It's no secret that video is powerful, but how can you make it more effective and shareable?
Community plus video is the answer.
Video has the power to influence change, as we are all aware.
Your community will be more effective with video, no matter how big it is.
Develop a community that matches your member avatar (in relation to your Call to Action) and you will attract new members to your ecosystem. They will learn more about you and you will learn more about them.
The goal of an activist is to inspire change, and for that to happen, they need support.
There are lots of ways to use social media to influence people's beliefs or get moral and material support to solve problems.
Videos can help you do this more quickly and effectively.

Corey's DVD displayed numerous behaviors that are common in groups. When leading groups, it can be difficult due to conflicting personalities. As a group leader, one must be aware of the different behaviors that group members may display. They must also have the knowledge to correct negative behaviors and keep the group cohesion and group focus on track. Two behaviors that stood out to me in Corey's DVD were group members attempting to lead the group and resistance from group members. I believe addressing individuals who try to lead the group could possibly discourage them. If a leader cuts a member off or overlook a comment they made, it can shut them down and affect their participation for the remaining sessions. It is possible that group members could just be outspoken and passionate about the topic. However, as the leader they must allow other group members to speak as well as keep control of the group. When it comes to setting the group tone, members will be more comfortable knowing the leader is in control of the group rather than allowing another member to do so (Corey, Corey, & Hayes, 2014). In a situation where a member tries to take control of the group, it would be appropriate for the leader to say something like, "Thank you a lot for sharing your insight on this topic. Now, I'd like to hear from another member and how they feel about this topic". In regards to resistant members, this will be the most difficult for me. In some instances, members are court ordered to attend different support groups, which mean they will only go through the motions, and attend group meetings because it is mandatory. Attempting to get resistant members to get involved can also take away time from group activities and discussions. It can be difficult because the goal for leaders are to influence and touch each group member. But how long are should we spend on trying to get those that are resistant to cooperate? A technique that I will utilize to help resistant members to open up and share is to use dyads throughout group sessions. According to Corey et al, (2014), working in pairs facilitates member interaction because talking to one person seems less threatening than addressing the entire group.
Based on my cultural background, I will be able to refrain from allowing assumptions and biases get in the way of assisting others. As a helping professional, one must be aware of their own beliefs. It is extremely important for clinicians and others to keep an open mind and be knowledgeable of other cultures to effectively assist clients. Due to my personality and background, I can relate to many circumstances. Next, an incident that sticks out to me on Corey's DVD was the example of the individual that spoke Spanish to voice her opinion. This stood out to me because individuals that are bilingual and have English as their second language tend to revert back to their primary language when they are in.

What is required of a discourse community?
Swales, John. ''The Concept of Discourse Community." Genre Analysis: English in Academic
and Research Settings. Boston: Cambridge UP, 1990.21-32. Print
Swales was the first piece of literature that our class read about discourse communities.
In this article Swales discussed what discourse communities were and the six things you
need to be a part of one. The first way was to share common goals. A discourse
community all share a common predominate goal. The next is discourse communities
have intercommunication. This means each discourse community have a different way of
communicating. Next there is participation, in order to be in a discourse community you
have to participate in its events. The fourth necessary thing to be in a discourse
community is genres. A discourse community will naturally break up into smaller groups.
Lexis is also necessary to be in a discourse community. This is the special vocabulary
used in every different discourse community. Lastly you need expertise in discourse
community. There are different levels of skill in every discourse community.
Swales article was the driving factor behind my research. When picking YouTube fitness
channels as my discourse community I made sure that each of the six necessary
2. Vergato 2
characteristics of a discourse community applied. For example in the YouTube fitness
community each YouTuber has their own expertise about fitness, specifically lifting
weight. Some YouTubers are experts in body building while others are experts in power
lifting. Within the YouTube community Swales fourth way of being in a discourse
community come into light. This is genres and when a community breaks into smaller
groups. This happens when some of the different YouTubeers get together and
collaborate to make one video. They are making smaller groups out of the lager discourse
community.
How does this directly relate to a YouTuber?
What makes your YouTube channel unique from all the others?
Chewning, Maxx. Who is Maxx Chewning YouTube. August 2014
From this interview Maxx, the interviewed YouTube fitness channel runner, stated that
he has expertise in power lifting and uses that expertise to help other power lifters that are
not as advanced as him. He uses the YouTube discourse community as a way to interact
with subscribers and other YouTubers. I learned different lexis used within his discourse
community and why he chose to have a YouTube channel. I learned a lot about his
personal goals and plans for his future. He is driven by the death of his father and looks
to use the YouTube community to continue his legacy by making a brand in his honor.
This interview helped me answer a lot of the questions I had about fitness YouTube
communities. I learned why Maxx has his channel, what his goals are, and how he is
unique from all the other YouTubers. Maxx has his channel purely to help and inspire

other people who want to powerlift like he does. He is unique in the fact that he is very
personable and open about his life. He plans to continue his channel in the hope it will
continue to grow in order to keep helping the most amount of people.
How are other people effected by the YouTube fitness community?
Are there fans of these YouTuber’s following their discourse community?
gym, UNCC. Observation Joe Vergato. 2014.
To find the answer to this question I went to the only place I would expect people to
know these YouTubers, the gym. Previously in the gym I have seen people wearing these
YouTuber’s costum t-shirts that they sell online. I also had conversations with some of
the people there and they told me that they also use these YouTuber’s online training
programs to help them with their training.
This answered my question about the fans of the YouTube discourse communites. There
were plenty of fans out there that supported these YouTubers. Bust most importantly this
told me that the common goal of the YouTubers (Swales number 1) of helping others in
their lifting journey is actually paying off. Many people are actively watching these
YouTubers online and participating in that discourse community.
Are the Youtubers really helping that many people?
What do the YouTubers do to continuously help the followers of their channels?

Candito, Johnny. Canditio Training HQ. n.d. http://www.canditotraininghq.com/. November
2014
This is a YouTubers personally website that they use in order to communicate with other
member of the discourse community (Swales number 2). This website has personal
information of the YouTuber as well as tips and training programs
This taught me that the YouTubers do not just communicate using YouTube. They also
communicate using things like personal websites. Also it reinforces the common goal of
the YouTuber discourse community of helping people since there are tips and training
programs.
