Critical Discourse Analysis

I found the American hospital websites that we saw in class on Thursday interesting. We saw both a for profit hospital and a non profit hospital and both of them had a section on there about their finances and how much they pull in each year. Then we looked a European hospital website where there medical care is free over there, and there was not mention about money. I would have never thought twice about that because its a naturalization here in America.

I also found the KKK website kinda humerus, because you would expect it to be really hateful but they used a good choice of words and had it looking all friendly. You can even go get your authentic KKK t-shirt or hat, but my favorite one was the little figurine of a KKK guy all dressed up in his bed sheets, and for an extra $10 you can get his eyes lit up. And remember they want to spread a message of "love not hate". They really just want to spread the love with the fellow white man, and hate everyone else. It makes me understand on how people can get involved with and institution like that, they have you thinking that it is a really friendly concept.

I also thought the hospital web sites were interesting. It is funny to realize we (Americans) look at everything in terms of cost or money due to our economic system of capitalism.
