Why Is Writing Important

Why Is Writing Important?

            Writing has been very important throughout history. It is used to document ideas, entertain through stories, keep records, and many other things. If it had not been for writing, we would have no idea about our history. I think that knowing where we came from is important in order to move forward, so having written proof of our history is very influential for things that go on in today’s world.

            I am currently going into the nursing career field. Although long stories and writing books is not part of my future job description, taking down information about each patient to give to the doctor is something that will be done all the time. The doctor will need clear descriptions of each patient and their ailment in order to properly treat them. This form of communication through writing could be the difference in whether a patient is cured or not. For this reason, writing would be rather important in my career choice.

            In everyday life, writing is all around us whether we realize it or not. The music we listen to started out as just lyrics on a page no different than a book we might read. Writing and its effects occur in many more areas than we see by just looking at the surface. Even all our food just started as a recipe that was written on the back of the box. For this reason, writing is all around us and we will always use it in our lives no matter what path we take.
