for my propensity is that knowledge is very important for us today. Without education, it is very hard to find a good job and you will have a hard time to do the work. There is too much new knowledge today. In the past days, people can teach each other by oral, therefore, reading and writing is not as important as now. However, if you enter a company today, your supervisor will only give you a instruction book and tell you begin to study it. Nobody has time to teach you by oral. If you can read and write well, you will get more smoothly at work.
Communication is, I have chosen to put here. Many professions require people to work in team to solve problems and make decisions. Reading and writing can help you to know other colleague are doing, on the other hand, it can also help you to tell other people what you have done and your plan for next step.
To be honest, I cannot deny that some people who cannot read or write also have a nice life today. Nevertheless, for the normal people, the benefits of reading and writing carry much more weight than illiterate, so the conclusion is obvious.
For all factors presented above, we can safely draw the conclusion that reading and writing are more important today than in the past. Furthermore, we should pay more attention to improve our ability of reading and writing.
