Did you know that 800 million people in the world are illiterate? Not knowing how to read or write is a worrying reality that society ignores or tries to avoid. This alarming problem reinforces future societies composed of people unable to learn or even understand basic facts and information. Today, illiteracy is a worrying paradox, a source of poverty, mortality and isolation. Poverty is expected to be the first great price to pay for illiteracy. Limited ability to obtain and understand essential information can result in various problems leading to poverty. Additionally, an individual lacking skills such as writing and reading will always have unequal opportunities to grow up in society and acquire a high-income lifestyle that could be passed on to future generations of their family. For example, an entry-level intern, who answers calls and greets people, will never be promoted to a higher position if he or she is not able to read or write. It is a fact that people with low or no literacy skills are those who are most unemployed or who work in strenuous and physically demanding jobs. Furthermore, literacy is a tool for political liberation; disadvantaged people are not mentally equipped to confront or choose a political side. People become incapable of reasoning for themselves when they lack the ability to obtain and process information, so the inability caused by ignorance keeps them trapped in a political environment that does not benefit them. nor gives them freedom. As an example, we can cite Africa where 38% of the population is illiterate, and where the government steals the wealth of the soil and uses the population without giving any reward. Mortality is called to be the middle of paper. ......ip could become a nightmare for someone who can't read; likewise, the idea of ​​getting lost because you don't know how to interpret the maps can make you think twice before enjoying a trip or visit. In conclusion, the cost of people who cannot read and write is very high. Not only does this change the work environment, but it also leads to individual behavioral problems in society and health problems. The daily life of illiterates is a difficult and sad reality, and society does not even pay attention to what is happening. Imagine if the person who looks after your child during your work hours would be illiterate; It could be very dangerous if that person cannot read emergency numbers during a crisis. Illiteracy is a problem that requires the cooperation of all of us, and it depends on society whether this problem is solved..
