Why is literacy considered as prerequisite of development?Give four reasons.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Literacy enables:

Documenting knowledge and history
Understanding more complex ideas
Developing all the aspects of our education
Team and group work and development

Explanation:

Literacy is the ability of reading and writing. It is necessary for the development of society as well as for individual development because:

A society that is not literate can’t document anything. This means, everything is based only on oral knowledge and history, which can’t be documented for later generations and therefore can’t progress from what is currently in the head of the one particular person. While people can orally share that knowledge, it is, like all our memories, temporary, insecure, and limited.

Literacy is required to understand any more complex tasks than what is here and now. Literacy is not only basic reading and writing of the alphabet but understanding complex ideas and decoding the concepts. If we need to do anything that requires more time learning (which is any of the university requires professions, for example), we depend on the ability to read, write, and note the progress.

Language is not the only thing depending on literacy – all the aspects of education depend on the ability to read and write. There is no development in knowledge and education of the individual who is not literate.

Literacy also enables better teamwork and group development. If people can write down their thoughts, ideas, concepts, etc, and others can read it, edit, and add up, it can seriously benefit the group dynamics and lead to group inventions. The sharing of written concepts and ideas is one of the keys to development.

Speaker 1: Now that we are independent, Americans should create a government that mirrors the government of Great Britain.

Monica [59]

Answer:

A. Speaker 2

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation is known as the first written American constitution. It has its origins in times of war, also, its development was delayed since people were afraid of central authority and states demanded their lands, until it was sanctioned on March 1, 1781. These articles recognized the states' sovereignity and independency, leaving Congress as an auxiliary resource to solve certain issues, and not having the power to collect taxes or mint money. It was a weak central government, which eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 that modified and elaborated new federal laws.
