Homework due on Mar 2nd ---literacy

According to the Wikipedia, the traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak. In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at a level adequate for communication, or at a level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society, so as to take part in that society. Therefore, literacy refers to an understanding of life with a particular language background.
Literacy is a way to describe the life that someone lives. Writing and reading apparently can help to show the life. We could understand the life within one particular place by reading literacy outcomes, like newspaper and novel that expressed by combining all existing elements through life. We are using literacy to express ourselves and communicate to each other. In my opinion, literacy is about language, but not only about language. It is not only about how to write and read by using one specific language, what's more is an understand and precieve about the culture.
