Writing is learning

Introduction

Writing has been playing an essential role in our lives since we learned how to read and write. This essay r, hence, emphasizes on how writing has influenced a person and how it has managed to change his or her life as a way of learning.The invention of quills and inks allowed people to record in scrolls of parchments. Advancements in technology have propelled people to digitize their writing rather than penning them down

When a writer picks up his or her writing material, they put down their emotions, thoughts, and experiences into books, articles, or blogs, which millions of people read(Irmscher, W. F. (1979).. These writings in one way or the other has become one of the most influential tools of people and their lives. For example, had it not been for writing, people would not have known about religion, history, or literature. Through writing, people can give advice or take advice on how to handle a business successfully( Emig, J. (1977).. Research done by past scientists has helped present ones to find cures for diseases. It is because of writing that civilization had advanced and brought the modern evolution that people see today.

A writer using humor in his or her work can have an impact on the reader’s personality. They can shape them up to become wittier or develop their sense of humor. A person reading novels which have fantasy contents broadens their imagination and enables them to think outside the norm. Writing can be taken as a route to heal someone who is in an emotional turmoil regarding divorces, job rejections, university problems, relationships (Irmscher, W. F. (1979). Writing also provides a chance for people to focus and organize the experience. They will be able to see what had led them to the emotional event, in other words, writing will “people to step back for a moment and evaluate their lives”

This can be agreed upon as when an individual is perplexed regarding choices, writing down pros and cons can help them to determine their final selection (Irmscher, W. F. (1979).Writing brings about a technique of reflecting and discovering opportunities. It teaches a person to become more carefree and solves their mental and emotional confusion It has an ability to show the writer that there can be aspects of the confusion that he or she had not thought of.

Sometimes people tend to choose their career paths based on their parents’ choices, sometimes they choose it because they find the field interesting( Emig, J. (1977). Their source of knowledge may have come from another person or through books. However, the source will always be writing, as it is the most accessible method of recording details and elaboration about the subject revolving around the career field. For example, the present genetic engineer may not have known about the field if geneticists or specialist journalists had not written about the topic in articles or journals which have been published.

Perhaps, the greatest evolution occurred in thinking is because of past writers and the trend is being continued by present writers. Social networking sites are a notable platform for modern writers to express their views (Irmscher, W. F. (1979). The writing technique has changed from inking and penning down to keying and blogging, but people always need to find some medium to express their emotions and ideas.

I believe that writing is one of the tools that have helped us develop into the modern society that we are. We are more open to new ideas because of writing. We do not think that the possibilities end with one idea. We believe the world is a mysterious box, which can sprout with all kinds of possibilities( Emig, J. (1977). Yes, there is a range of illiteracy rates around the globe, but people who are literates, they are trying their best to spread their knowledge amongst them so that they can benefit. This shows the strength of the writing. They would not have accomplished this if they did not read the books by other writers. Speaking has more power because it is vocalized. Its disadvantages lie in the fact that not everything can be covered. Writing is more subtle and shows signs of progression in a person’s mentality. As Rowley said, writing is a self-reflective tool, and when we write, it influences us to see what we try not to see and, therefore, helps us by accepting the facts.
