Critical Writing

Historically, stories were passed down orally. As time and technology progressed, people found it more effective to express themselves through writing. Writing has existed since, well, the era of the caveman. Cave drawings and carvings depict the most basic means of communication. Writing is important because it requires engagement of the audience to actively participate in reading, as well as allows the author to express themselves and better organize their thoughts.

Since its induction, writing has since evolved. With the use of technology and a faster paced society, sentences, as well as words have become shorter. The use of phrases and acronyms have better allowed to communicate effectively to save time, but it is important to remember that though the modern world is fast paced, that we should effectively communicate by ensuring that we get our point across. To do this a writer must understand that certain topics have different impacts on various audiences.
