I think writing is extremely powerful. I think a lot of times, when there is discourse or upheaval, writing is one thing people can do that helps as well as making an impact. When someone can write and use writing to help others and use it to educate, creating impacts, it gives a voice to those that don’t have the power to speak.

I think that engaging in writing can help educate and inform yourself and others. Engaging in writing and reading other people’s writing can breed creativity. It sparks more active mind. I think that if writing were to stop all together or slow down drastically—I guess as it appears nowadays—it would hinder people’s ability to use their minds actively.

While I do not think this can only be done through writing, as speeches and such exist and are able to reach people in quicker and broader demographics, I think that writing can sometimes create a larger impact.

Everything in life is dependent on your ability to voice yourself and be literarily engaged. I think life can prove extremely hard when you are not able to read and express your own thoughts.

For most jobs in the world, you’d have to be able to write; not all jobs, but even in jobs where it’s not a necessity, I think writing could help make life easier. In order to communicate with bosses, write as your actual job and reiterate and relay messages, writing is essential.
