Literacy
We specifically took time to look at the impact of literacy on society. To do this, we read multiple memoirs about the effects of literacy. Some of these include:
-Reading Lolita in Tehran (Azar Nafisi)
-Speaking Volumes: A Dublin Childhood (Edith Newman Devlin)
-The Books That Mattered: A Reader's Memoir (Frye Gaillard)
In our research, we have found that reading has an incredible impact on the way that people relate to society and can interact with other cultures. We have also found, especially through Reading Lolita in Tehran, that censorship has a profoundly negative impact on people's literacy.
