Writing As A Means Of Understanding

Written By Colēgia

Writing as a form of communication has been around for centuries. It's an essential part of our education and it allows us to understand many different aspects of life itself along with unique perspectives. Today we want to take a look at how writing is used as a means of understanding and how it can help us.

Writing Promotes Empathy

When we think of entertainment a few ideas might come to mind. It could be a movie or TV show we enjoy, a novel, or even a theater performance. Something that ties all of these things together is that writing is a key component of each as a means of helping to convey what the art piece itself is. All of these have a script that's used to help establish the scene along with conveying dialogue as well. When writing is effective it allows us to put ourselves in the shoes of the characters so we can have a better understanding of their perspective. This in turn lets us build empathy which is the bridge we need to form healthy bonds with others. Fiction is powerful since it gives us many what-if scenarios that still hold valuable pieces of truth and wisdom to them. They can show us what the world may be like if we experience it through the lens of someone else which can make us more accepting.

Writing Allows Us To Communicate

When we consider how we communicate, writing contributes to a good portion of our interactions. Texting, emails, and letters are all examples of how we use writing to speak with one another. A self-help book is another form of this since in many cases the author directly wants to communicate with the reader as a means of lifting them up. Textbooks have a lot of information condensed within them to help convey complicated concepts. They're essential for a school's curriculum because they take knowledge over the course of many years and make it more accessible to a large number of people. Writing gives a voice to people whose message might otherwise not be heard and for that alone makes its impact incredible.

Writing And Critical Thinking

Many things in life don't always have a clear-cut solution. An effective method to handling problems is by brainstorming along with testing things out. Writing plays a role in this process since it allows us to organize our thoughts in a cohesive manner. It can also help us with collaboration as well. A good example of this is based notes such as Google Documents which make it easy to share and edit notes. Critical thinking is a core part of problem solving and writing allows us to make sense of these concepts by having a frame of reference. Writing is an extremely helpful skill since it can help us persuade, entertain, and understand while giving us a greater appreciation for all the complex nuances of language itself.
