I saw an article about "illiteracy"! "Illiteracy" is a person who cannot read! The illiteracy rate in India is as high as 40%, and the illiteracy rate in the United States is as high as 21%! A while ago, I found that Australia was beginning to be afraid. What are we afraid of? Many Australian children cannot write! I would like to ask how many American children can write? If the average American child was asked to read an article, how many of them would be able to read it? The United States is a developed country, but the illiteracy rate is as high as 21%! I can tell you honestly: This is a figure released by the United Nations, but the illiteracy rate in the United States may be higher than 21%! This means that one in five people in the United States cannot read! Can this also explain why "public security is so bad" in the United States? Why is the “gap between rich and poor” huge in the United States?
The United States is a country of immigrants, but how many people in Spanish-speaking countries do you think are "literate"? Literacy rates in Spanish-speaking countries should generally be very low! I'm not a "knowledge first" kind of person, but literacy is a basic "life skill"! If the United States no longer pays attention to "literacy rate", the United States will perish in poverty! The United States is now following the Indian route. The illiteracy rate in India is 40%. Why does India make its people illiterate? Because only the people are illiterate, it will be easier for the government to control the people! And India's "caste system" is the future path of the United States! The drug epidemic in India has also reached 20%! There may be more drug addicts in India than in the United States! Drug addicts in the United States account for approximately 70% of the U.S. population. Are the American people still dreaming? What is the "American Dream" for the American people? Is the "American Dream" of the American people: poverty, illiteracy, and drug abuse? This is the American dream for the American people! The "American Dream" is: a lifetime of illiteracy, a lifetime of poverty, and a lifetime of relying on drugs to hypnotize oneself. I am realizing the "American Dream"!
China’s illiteracy rate is 3%! We can now understand why America is: overrun with drugs and overrun with guns! Why are American children so immersed in "online games"? Why are American children addicted to "online videos"? Why does the US government blindly advocate "Sports"? Why is the "sports program" in the United States so developed, but there are still many obese people in the United States? Have you seen the problems in the United States? Perhaps, many people ask: Why should I be literate? I work as a painter, a truck worker, a farmer, a mover, etc. We don't need to be literate at all! We just need to follow directions it! Why do we need to be "literate"?
"Literacy" does not require everyone to be good at writing, nor does it require children to read a lot of poetries and books. Generally speaking, "primary school graduation" is enough for literacy! The average person only needs to have a vocabulary of 300, which is enough for a lifetime! The purpose of "literacy" is not to make us scholars! The purpose of "literacy" is to enable us to "communicate"! Why are there “conflicts” between people? It’s because of “communication problems”! Why are drug abuse rates so high in the United States? Because of "communication problems"! Although we use a "common language", different words have different meanings. Some words have only one meaning, and some words have many meanings! Some words have the same pronunciation, but different words and different meanings!
In fact, I was really shocked to see that the illiteracy rate in the United States is as high as 21%! I know literacy rates are generally low in many Spanish-speaking and African countries! I can't say: Knowledge is power! But I want to ask those Americans who don’t want to be word-conscious for your sons: If you want to leave some words to future generations, how do you preserve your words? Of course it depends on "words"! On the walls of primitive people, we can all see the characters and patterns preserved by our ancestors. Likewise, "writing" is the only way to preserve and pass it on to future generations! We can obtain "wisdom" by reading the documents left by our ancestors, and we can obtain the wisdom of the ancients. Each generation is passed on by the ancestors from generation to generation. No "wisdom" is created out of nothing!
I don’t object to Americans’ unwillingness to “literate”! Because basic education in the United States has reached 12th grade, and the literacy rate of the American people is so low, it must be because the American people themselves are unwilling to learn literacy! I can tell the American people: English is the simplest language and writing! Why? Because English often cannot express the "semantic meaning" clearly at all! Chinese is the most difficult language to learn! Why? In Chinese, usually 1-2 words can express the meaning clearly! English is for everyone to communicate easily, so the English design is very simple! To be honest: English is not a very good way to pass down literature and wisdom! Chinese should be more conducive to the inheritance of literature and wisdom! Does being an ordinary worker mean that you can be illiterate? Anyone can be illiterate! Literacy or illiterate is a personal choice! Are there any disadvantages to being "literate" as an ordinary worker? "Literacy" may not be as fun as playing online games, and "literacy" and "writing" are definitely more painful than watching videos! That's because you haven't met a good teacher! I once taught Chinese to American children, and every child found it so interesting to learn Chinese! There is a Chinese idiom: Education is about having fun. Many people misinterpret this idiom as "happy learning"! In fact, this idiom does not mean "happy learning"! This idiom means "willing to learn"! It means that one is satisfied in learning and one is eager to learn! How to make children feel satisfied and happy in learning? How to make children eager to learn? This is the most lacking part of our education now!
