every english class ive ever had has reaffirmed my belief that english is one of the most necessary classes we have actually

actually most classes, and in general seeing people interact with media make me believe english classes are probably the most important ones i took

there really isnt a single walk of life where learning to analyze the written and spoken word (of any language) isnt important. this is how you learn to understand harmful implications in fictional media. news media. how you learn to dissect propaganda. how certain word choices (intentional or unintentional) can cause irreparable damage. how you learn to see through advertisements. how you learn the weight of people’s words. how you learn to exercise empathy if that is not something that comes naturally to you. i know im a bit insane academically but this is definitely one of the hills i willingly choose to die on

Also English is the only class that taught me the value of checking your sources, + who put the information out and what they might have to gain by putting it out there
