Literacy

Literacy

Try and imagine our society without a common language.  This could be quite
a hard idea to fathom.  Allow me to assist you.  If this hypothetical idea were
in fact true, a typical conversation between two individuals would be as
follows: one of the two would begin the conversation by making noises
representing their language,  the other person would not understand these noises
and respond with unrecognizable noises to the first individual.  As you can well
imagine, this would get quite frustrating.  Rita Mae Brown describes literacy as,
"a social contract, an agreed upon representation of certain symbols" (420).  If
the symbol's (letters) meanings are not agreed upon by those attempting to
communicate, then interpreting one another becomes difficult.  Simply stated,
literacy is very important.  Society has proven time and time again,  it will
reward those individuals who are competent and impede those who are not, whether
expressed in terms of employment opportunities (job success) or just on a social
level.
	One need look no further than their everyday activities in order to
realize how important literary skills are.  Without adequate literary skills one
may not be able to identify on a label the correct amount of medicine to give a
child, or read and interpret
