On Friday, I was given an assignment to read two articles about writing and how it affects today's economy. They explained that writing is the most used subject in today's society. From social media to the workforce writing is apart of everyday life.
In the first article, the writer gave three tips about why writing is important in any profession. The first reason is that it forces you to think. In other words, it is challenging your brain to think outside the box. When this occurs, it allows your brain to expand. The second reason is that it allows you to take on a different viewpoint. This allows you to view on other people's feelings or "putting yourself in someone's shoes". The third reason is that you will be better at communicating verbally. By writing really well you will also learn how to talk very fluently as well. I learned from this article that writing can be your way to communicating well or even becoming a better person.
The second article was about the importance of good writing. The writer used real life examples to get the point that they wanted across. All of these examples took place in the workforce. I learned from this article that writing matters, especially if you want a good laying job.
Shannon - I loved your summary. I have two questions for you, however. First, what is a good "laying" job? Did you mean to say a good "paying" job? Second, how do you think writing well will be important to the profession you are considering?
