    Why Write by Nahim Polanco Sanchez

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses why writing is still important in today's world of instant communication. It argues that while people have many ways to communicate, the quality of conversations has decreased and opinions seem shallow. However, writing allows one to challenge popular beliefs and established views through reasoned arguments. Every revolution starts with an idea, and ideas can be understood through language even if some try to silence others. Words are the mothers of actions, and one should not be afraid to write and potentially change the world.
