In the text "The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society " by Jonathan Kozol , the author describes many of the struggles that illiterate people go through because of their inability to read and write. He shows the cost that this has on their lives, their families, and society at large.

Towards the end of the text, he suggests that our reaction to the problem of illiteracy tests our belief in democracy. The reason for this is that democracy rests on the idea that all people are equal. Therefore, they all deserve the same opportunities, and the same importance when it comes to rights and liberties. However, if we accept that some people in our society are illiterate, this means that we accept the fact that these people are less important, less worthy, or less deserving of education and opportunities, which is an idea that would directly oppose our democratic values.

Give a description of a recent 2018_2021 example of how this problem has displayed itself in your community

tekilochka [14]

Hi, You have not informed the problem that your question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

The only way to answer this question is to understand the problem it is pointing out. For this you must read the full question and identify this issue. Once this is done, you should search your memory for a time when this problem can be seen in your community. If your community has never seen this issue, you can comment on the community of someone you know, but you need to justify this in your response. When telling how the problem was established in the community, you should inform how this problem started, what are the consequences, if it is still in the community, if it was solved and how it was solved.
