Field

“A field is a group of people, the texts they write, and the things they do, in order to generate and circulate knowledge related to a particular idea or question.” When it comes to a website, the field and circulation go hand in hand in making a well known, well talked about and commonly understood and interpreted source.

A field that is most commonly seen is the field, otherwise known as an audience, on our social media sights and networking. The field of something like Twitter consists of the people who are reading the tweets, circulating them, and creating their own thoughts and opinions. For example, a large field of people on Twitter recently are discussing and debating the political aspect of the voting polls for the next in line for presidency. There are always two sides to every debate, if not more. So what most of our field on Twitter seems to be is the controversial debate for or aginst Trump, as well as the ethos and informational advertisements for the other running candidates. As you can see, social media plays a large role in politics among many other things; seeing as social media as a whole is writing in the 21st century.
