Going from Faigleys Social Perspective on writing, which "focuses on the process of composing, but this perspective understands process in far broader terms. In social perspective, writing processes donot start with"prewriting" and stop with "revising.""

The Social perspective is a continuous process of communitcation because when somebody reads a written text they are able to relay that information by letter or verbatium. They are "Links in the communicative chain." The examples in the text all show things that a social perspective writer needs to obtain. It all consists of "social relations, tensions, or conflicts that go beyond the text."

A person who takes on this task must have their own way to describe the world around them. They also need to know how language can create a since of "social identity." Kind of like how southerners refer themselves that way and act a certain way to portray that view to society. They also must know all sources of written media that they can reach readers through.

The research program would take all texts in a bigger view of writing. It would look at the writers thoughts and beliefs and how they came to think that way. It wouldn't only examine a persons composition but it would also go by where the information was obtained.
