Poster Reflection

          In the 21^st Century, writing is becoming a more social act. Historically, the education system, whose main focus is to produce good citizens, has always pushed reading since that is the way society has transmitted its values (Yancey 2). However, the increased accessibility of writing, due to the globalized community and the proliferation of writing platforms and therefore a wider audience, has allowed more people to enter into discussions and to express a wider range of opinions. This phenomenon has allowed literacy to take on a new life in the 21^st century, a period we may call the Age of Composition, an era where writers become writers not through direct and formal instruction, but through an extracurricular social co-apprenticeship (Yancey 5).
