Why is writing, communication and reading so important in our society today? Well, for one thing is it very hard to have any job/career if you do not know how to do at least one of these. I will use my job as one example. I am a sales associate for dish network. In order to do my job I have to communicate with customers and I have to be able to read to customers the prices of the deals we offer and other things. A school teacher is just another example. If the teacher does not know how to do any of these then she can not 1. get the message to their students of what they are trying to teach 2. read material to students so that they can learn 3. write out material or grade papers for students. All of these 3 things are very important not just for jobs but for being a part of society.
