Exercise: Why do we read and write?



This exercise has asked me to explore the reasons why we read and write, something I have thought about before but not in depth. 

Why do we read?

  • Education

  • Mental Exercise

  • Pleasure

  • Escapism

  • Spiritual practice (i.e. the bible, the quran)

  • Relaxation

  • Career choice (i.e. editor)

  • Exploration (i.e. travel)


Why do we write?

  • Communication

  • Mental Exercise

  • Creative expression

  • Reach more audiences

  • Explanations

  • Continue the art of storytelling

  • Relaxation

  • Immortalise important information

  • To teach 

  • To remember important information (i.e. statements and lists)
