The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society

Response to The Human Cost of an illiterate purchase order 1/30/2011 In The Human cost of an illiterate alliance, Jonathan Kozol attempts to convince his depicter that analphabetism is extremely harmful to a baseball club, and that it is the ultimate destruction of a charit competent beings life. He explains with great detail how being unlettered (unknown) at something so universal like being able to read the directions on a medicine gauge, can lead to a life of hardship and long term agony.Kozol develops his reasoning by contributing significant but real world examples on how being illiterate is chancy and fatal. For example He uses not being able to explain where you ar if something fatal was to happen, and not being able to understand the dangers of a cigarettes label with a surgeons warning on it. After giving a big money load of examples, he then brings the discussion back to his central somebodyal line of credit on how being illiterate can be costly. When a person does not understand what they have wrongfully done it can be difficult to prosecute or judge that person.If he is not able to read then that person might not be certified that giving a child too much aspirin could way out in overdose which can ultimately lead to death. The question that comfort remains is should that person be held accountable. According to todays society the answer is still unknown but to protect the people of this society from that illiterate person, the answer is yes that person must be limited. What this ultimately way is that, he must be kept from society so that he wont cause harm for his on ignorant habits.He forget have to be watched, fed, and kept in an environment where he exit always be stable. This top of living can cost a lot of money and this is the financial burden that cost a society so much money. In a way this is unfair because it is not this persons fault that he cant read, understand, and intend critically. Illiterate people forget always be in the dark, and they will always struggle with trying to figure out the differences between whats wrong and whats right.
