Gee contends that each of us are possessors of multiple discourses. These discourses are cultural in origin and reflect the various groups in which we hold membership. Examples of the groups would include: the buddies I gamble with every weekend, my softball team, my church (which does not necessarily reflect my membership in my churches men's group), my adult education colleagues, etc., etc., etc.. Each of the groups maintains a discourse that is not readily accessible to those that are outside of each of these respective groups.
