Social Perspective

How does the social perspective apply yo my work as a professional writer?

Examine how a discourse community is organized, what subjects are considered appropriate, how they are determined, genres that evolve within a community, how a community sanctions certain methods of inquiry, understanding members expectations, and knowing how to alter those expectation and beliefs, how individuals cope with texts,
accomplish interaction between writers and reader, etc....

Which of the suggestion are most important? Pick 3. Why? How do they effect me as a PW?

1. Discourse community- important because it allows you to understand the expectations of the audience and group you are trying to reach.
2. Determine what subjects are appropriate - important so the writer does not introduce anything offensive or irrelevant
3. Interaction between writer and reader - important to make sure there is clear understanding from the writer to the reader so no information is lost during communication
