What is Literacy?

Literacy is the ability to understand, write, and logically determine what one is read. In today's society we are taught at a young age in school how to comprehend the basic elements of literacy such as comprehending what one is told, and understanding the thinking process. In third world countries the adult literacy rate goes from 0-49% . Literacy opens doors to education empowering minds in ways which allow people to understand the power in which this society today has given us. An example of this would be our natural born rights as citizens of the United States. We as United States citizens are fortunate enough to be taught at a young age to understand the aspects of our world.
