‘Literacy, like land, is a valued commodity in this economy, a key resource in gaining profit and edge. This value helps to explain, of course, the lengths people will go to secure literacy for themselves or their children.’ Reading and Writing play a vital role in the history of life. Rich or poor, male or female, children or adults, literacy is always an act of learning. Writing makes you put your thoughts, imaginations all in one place. It makes you feel much lighter. Likewise, Reading gives you knowledge. You learn new things by reading different kinds or books, news, articles, etc. How Brandt described the sponsors of literacy explains the value of different economies and how they are all equal no matter what categories them. |
