Borg claims that Discourse communities have common goals and use communication to share ideas that will/can lead to the achievement of such goals. An agreed upon theme is necessary to convey member’s thoughts to one another for the purpose of meeting goals. Each member must communicate unique ideas while keeping with the ideology of the discourse community to maintain a unifying theme that each member can understand. Discourse Communities also require regular interaction to keep the communication current and goal attainment a real possibility. Communities may differ on the frequency that members must contribute, but a community cannot foster if people do not exchange with each other.
