Social Perspective

According to Faigley's definition of the "social perspective" a person cannot communicate effectively without researching and understanding the environment that they are trying to communicate within. Bearing this in mind it is necessary to study the environment that you are writing in so that your communication is understood by all necessary parties. If there is no understanding of the environment then you run the risk of being completely misunderstood. It is also necessary to be flexible in your communications because the environment will continue to change after you have finished your writing. If you cannot continue to change and develop your ideas then the communication becomes hindered and therefore unnecessary.
