Since several technologies were invented today, the ability of reading and writing is not as important as the past period. Some oppopnents ,however, argues that read and write capacity is a most potent power to be a part of society. But, in case of me,I totally do not go with the statement which is literal ability become more important these days than the past period for several reasons.
First of all, men could express thier opinion only through the paper or literal way since there were not enough materials. However, audio and visual techonologies were invented nowadays. These equipments can show what they want to say to us no need with read or write ability. For example, TV and Radio are regarded as a most effective invention of today which means it became a basis of our real life. When we see or listen something to those material we do not need to read or write and merely requires watching and understanding. What a conveineint situation compared to the past period. According to the development of those devices, living a life get more easier without literal ability than the past.
The second reason is related to the broke up of the social classes. It is evident that social class which was epidemic in the last 100 decades get blurred thesedays. In the past, literal power was most effective and it destined the one's ability whether he or she is powerful or not. Although it still remained a bit today, physical ability such as singing, acting and dancing become more important than the past days. If a men has a talent in those area there is no need to have other ability which is read or write.
To sum up, there are two reasons why the literal ability is not regarded as a important power than last period. Invention of auditory and visual techonology and collapse of social classe are the reasons respectively. In my opinion, men merely needs to develope one particular talent to be a professional in their area. |
