Throughout “The Ethnograpy of Literacy” article a lot of
points were made that I found very intriguing.
Szwed stated that “Literacy would appear to be one of the few elements
of education that everyone agrees to be a necessity of modernity.” I completely
agree with this statement because without an adequate literate life, you are
not allowing your knowledge to expand.
There are different forms of literacy done in different ways by
different groups. Also a variety of
literacy forms exist such as social practice, scholarly, business related, and
new media. There is not one correct answer to why people read and write because
I believe that everyone has different motives.
What I do believe is that literacy plays an important role of how things
get done in the world. It is necessary for me to learn new literacies given
that I will be the one to teach students literacies that will appear during
their lifetime.
