In doing so, it illustrates the theoretical claim that a paradigm shift from an informational approach to discourse to a communicational approach to discourse (Stanley Deetz) would free social agents from the exigency of relating to one another in ways which were already constructed for them for the purpose of surveillance, dominance, and control. Social agents may very well construct their realities through discourse on their own and so contribute to social values such as freedom, justice, and harmony from their singular positions. - Georgina Oana Gabor
