The Power of the Written Word

The Power of the Written Word

Cindy van Wyk

 
For centuries, human civilisation has been built upon something as seemingly simple as the written word. Think about it. Where would we be without the ability to write?

 Over the years, writing has not only been used as a method of transmitting information, but also as a method of recording happenings. Without the ability to write - in whichever form - we would not know even a tenth of the things we know about the world and its history. Writing is a skill that most of us learned when we were very young, and that we will use until the end of our days. Every day, we make use of the written word. We write SMSes, we write assignments, we write to-do lists, we write love letters, we write motivational letters, we write CVs, we write in our journals... The list goes on and on. It therefore makes sense to think of the written word as one of the cornerstones of civilisation. It is also easy to see what an important role writing plays in each and every person’s life.

  1. Well said Cindy!We breath and live the written word. our successes and failures as academics are all bound in the written word.“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

  2. A lovely piece Cindy.It is indeed important that we do not get lost in the trends which shift us from the use of proper enlgish. And regardless of what many people may think,writing is not a natural ability,even the greatest writers of our time have to continuously sharpen and evolve their writing skills.

  6. I would say that writing is a skill that most of us learned when we were very young while studying, and that we will use until the end of our days. But still we need to go through academic writing tips when we have to write on academics.
