This video exemplifies primary discourse because the little girl names Lily is two year old and it able to show the viewer on the map where over 80 countries are. She was taught this from her parents. Her parents have influenced her by teaching her how to find countries on a map. This video demonstrates that Lily is applying what she has learned by pointing out the different countries. She is being rewarded by her parents clapping and congratulating her.

This video is of two little girls singing to a famous Nicki Manaj song. There are several discourses at play. The girls have definitely been influenced by society through music and dancing. The girls learned this song probably because it was something that they were interested in and so the lyrics and dance moves stuck with them. This exemplifies secondary discourse and primary discourse. In the video, you can see the mom in the mirror showing dance moves the little girl. She learned and is supported by her mother. From this video the little girls are forced into this identity as the little girls who sang “Super Bass.”
