What is literacy?

What is literacy? My definition of literacy would be the ability to record and communicate through physical and or visual means.

ART 250 – first assignment; 100 Questions

Analysis of my questions:

I guess one thing that stands out predominantly with my questions is that most of them are fairly deep. A significant number of them deal with God, which I expected as I am Christian. I guess another “theme” is many of the questions deal with the current state of the world around us, either involving foreign policy, or my life directly.
