First literacy blog entry

When we are talking about literacy, mostly we are talking about reading and writing. Literacy happens in our daily lives. Literacy happened when we having conversations or lectures. In previous day’s visual project, I was trying to figure out what does literacy means in my mind. And now I want to express it with my words.
I was confused when I first time saw the word “literacy”. I did not even know there is any relation with my life. I thought it was jobs of litterateurs. But after deep thinking, I realized that I was wrong. Literacy is a complex term concerns everyone’s daily life. Basically, it is about reading and writing, and after we expend it, we can see that it has different meaning to each.
To children, literacy mostly means a way to know the world; also, they feel outside and express themselves with literacy. They are learning from watching and listening. Children feel happy or sorrow because of literacy, and they express themselves by talking or writing.
To adults, I think literacy means much to their social relationship and success, because adults need more communication. Whatever they had conference or interview, literacy is extremely important to them.
To seniors, literacy is a tool that gives them an enjoyable time in their last days. It is not only a way of killing time, but also improves their life quality. For example, seniors who can read and write have richer life than the ones who cannot do that.
To me, my literacy is still processing. I need to learn more and create a better life for myself. And I also feel different culture have diverse literacy. I was living in an eastern country, and I felt much difference in literacy between eastern and western countries.
In conclusion, literacy means way of thinking and living, people with literacy always have a better life.
