There are many types of different literature in our society, and I have explored some of them at different times in my life. Although I have explored them I doubt whether they will help me in my academic writing at university. My writing up till university had a clear purpose to entertain, nevertheless, the purpose of academic writing is not to entertain but to inform. The literature I was viewing before could not be considered the standard for university.
After discovering the standard that my academic writing had to be, I experimented with a piece of my own work. I wrote it to the standard that would be required for University, the results showed the work was technically correct yet it lost the element that made it unique.
In today's society people communicate using the social media to send the message they wish to express. Most of today's society, do not use the formal language that is used for academic writing, therefore, the formal style of writing is foreign to many people as they do not require it in their daily lives.
As people do not require the skill of writing in this way, it creates a social divide between the people who can write in this way and those who cannot. Being able to write like this distinguishes you as a person of higher importance as it shows you to be educated. In today's society education is a necessary requirement to gain a higher status in society. This impacts how literature is appreciated, as works of literature that are written in this format are disregarded as they cannot be fully understood.
