Writing In the 21st Century

New models of writing, different curriculum, and inventing models to teach are three challenges of writing in the 21st century. Writing has faced challenges such as gender issues, race troubles, and teaching differences. Yancey's main argument is that technology in the 21st century is increasing literacy through multiple ways. Writing can be viewed as just expressing feelings when reading is learning and becoming more knowledgable. reading produces feelings of new information and creation of new ideas. The negative associations of writing are that people to not think about what they are writing and just express their feelings. Some say their is no real importance in writing because there is no real importance behind it. Process writing is studying and learning how writing works and how it effects the readers. Self- sponsored writing is better know as writing for fun or one's own personal use. For example, a blog or Facebook post is for the writer to vent and share their personal trials. The 21st century is the age of composition because we write how we feel and create our own stories rather than just reading others. The so what is that writing and reading are literacy and are used by us to share our stories and rather than just reading other stories. Yancey defines literacy in this article is being able to not just read bur write our own stories with technology.
