Discourse is a critical and complicated concept when really breaking into it. It is simple yet irritating, it can be fun, and upsetting at the same time. I remember reading about the concept of mastery in any subject. It state that when you really get into an area, break it down, and begin to understand it, that is when you realize how much you really don't know.
Like the example of the legal document in class, I mean the people writing that probably have a better understand of the language, grammar, and vocabulary they use. They probably understand that by using that discourse they will confused their customers in a sense, but at the same time, be following legal procedures. Yes, it is confusing and some of it is probably done to confuse customers and trick them and get them into binds where the company makes money. But if you look at it from a legal standpoint and a professional standpoint they are just covering their tracks and keeping everything in line. So discourse to me is not only the language in use but it also has a self-perception or idealism to it as well, when it comes to seeing why or how it was done, in my opinion.
