Literacy I think is all around us. To me it means to be able understand whats going on around us. We need to have knowledge on pretty much a little of everything in order to not be completely in the dark. If literacy didn't exist how could someone drive a car when they couldn't even read signs. They would never be able to read a newspaper or enjoy a novel on the beach. What would life be like without literacy? Would you be miserable and feel separated from everyone else? I think literacy for an FSU student means being able to so what they want to do with life it provides us with the ability to be educated in whatever field interest us. I think it is a good thing to adventure outside the traditional writing. It helps us to think outside the box and makes everyone different in their own way. If everyone was stuck on the traditional ways how could anyone pick who they would want to hire for a job everyone would just be the same.

I agree with you. We have to adventure out from the norm. I really think that as students and as people who are still being educated we are going to get really really tired of this. I feel like we have been doing the same thing for the past 19 or 20 years of our lives so it is time for us to get to do something new. I just do not want to get bored. I think that it will also help present our information in a much more appealing manner.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree on how experimenting can add variety and makes everyone to be their own individual person. Always doing things the traditional way can get pretty boring at times and make people to lose enthusiasm for things. Then they will more than likely not want to do those things anymore and begin to see it as a burden or chore. But experimenting can add enthusiasm and bring a new sort of light on things and give people a positive look at it and make them maybe want to do more because they are intrigued by it. So I definitely agree with your view.
ReplyDeletei also agree with you. i think that youre right about the definition, and that you need to know a little bit of just about everything in society or you really wouldnt know what was going on. And i think that the point you make about the fact that we have so much educational freedom as students is kind of a big deal. A decade ago people didnt have nearly the amount of opportunities that we have now, and for us to have such a broad catalog of classes is a pretty cool thing. I think you make some really good points.
ReplyDeleteI agree in that literacy has changed for our 21st century definition because now you do have to be able to understand whats going on around you. I think the definition was generic definition is better suited for the old days when reading and writing were not so common as they are today.
