Pen Is Mightier Then Sword
It is my sincere belief that the pen through which we write words is surely mightier than the sword. Allah Almighty said in his first revelation “READ! And your Lord is the most generous, He who has taught by the pen, has taught man that he knew not.” These words of the Holy Quran prove the universal truth that the pen is the first mightiest thing that has brought the revolution of knowledge, wisdom and education in human being.
The pen looks like a small ordinary thing. It is also not very costly and it does not have much weight too. Apparently, its structure is also not impressive in its built, but it has great strength and power. The holder of pen is always knowledgeable and learned man. He succeeds everywhere and his orders are obeyed. If the weapon of a warrior is a sword, the weapon of learned and a commanding authority is the pen. Who so ever held the pen he would get the respect, wealth and fame, and he who left it, would become ineffective, unsuccessful and futile.
History has proved that the pen is mightier. All philosophers, doctors, educated and wise men, scientists, poets, writers and engineers got their repute due to the pen. Their names are still alive today only on account of their books, theories, laws and their written work left behind them. Had they not held the pen in their hand, they would not have had education and ultimately their names would have been buried with them in the grave and remained in oblivion.
The progress of sciences, evolution, and advancement of world at large, all is indebted to the pen only. The man invented electricity, ships, aero plane, radio and television. He is now commanding seas, mountain, rivers, air, water, fire, the Sun the Moon and the Earth. He is willing to go beyond the Moon. The man had invented the computer, robot, and he has succeeded in inventing the treatment of previously un-curable diseases. The information technology has brought the countries of the world very closer to each other. The latest news

    The pen, at least in ancient Greece, often times proved to be mightier than the sword. As Victoria Wohl said in “Rhetoric of the Athenian citizen,” “citizenship…was defined by speech, the citizen’s right to speak his mind freely in the Assembly” (162). To be able to defend oneself, discuss law, work for the courts, be on jury was part of being a citizen in Greece. Because speech was so important, how words were said and pieced together held even greater significance. People would often hire, logographers, or speechmakers, to create an ethopoeia, or a character that brought the speech alive, for the person who needed a compelling speech or argument.…

    The act of writing helps the writer better understand complex subjects. In the case of Malcolm X the copying of the dictionary helped him broaden his vocabulary and gave him a better understanding of written works. [During his prison studies Malcolm X realizes a connection between writing and cognitive learning. “ I woke the next morning, thinking about those words immensely proud to realize that not only had I written so much at one, time but id written words that I never knew were in the world. Moreover, with little effort, I also could remember what many of these words meant.”] As Malcolm continued to learn new words, he was able to pick up a book for the first time, read it and understand what the book was saying. There is good evidence that writing things down might in fact help the writer remember things better. While Malcolm X was re writing the dictionary he was absorbing more than if he was to watch a video or television.…

    As a writer sits and processes, they hold the strongest thing in their hand which is a pencil.

    Cursive Should Be Taught

    That public school are teaching skills such as typing and other digital skills, along with normal handwriting that the schools feel as if they cannot forfeit the time to teach cursive. It is also the fact that students do not need cursive as much now as they did in the past. On CNN iReport, people were asked to share samples of their handwriting. Of the 268 submissions received, 149 (55%) were printed, 75 were in cursive, and 44 were a combination of the two. Many of the submissions that were in cursive came from adults who said they'd switched because it was faster for taking notes in high school or college. But for today’s students, it's usually faster and often a lot neater to take notes on a laptop or a tablet, therefor it does not matter how fast cursive is.…

    I think that public school students should be taught how to write in cursive. Because cursive writing is essential and it is good for our minds. Also because cursive writing helps with fine motor-skills development. As well as stimulating both the right and the left parts of our brain. Also cursive writing requires alot of connected movements which is good. Unlike typing and printing by hand which only requires individual rather than connected movements. Neither typing nor printing involve communication between both sides of the brain. But cursive writing does which is great for our brains. Learning cursive writing doesn't only help brains become stronger. It also helps individuals reduce the effects of brain injury or weakness. Cursive…

    Now many people think we should keep cursive to improve handwriting. But is that really important? It's not important when we constantly use laptops for assignments like essays, like I'm doing right now. So why would it matter what your handwriting looks like if all you'll do is type for the rest of the years of school you have. I have heard teachers say myself that in the next couple of years there will be no more writing in notebooks everything will be on the computer.…

    Some people believe that cursive is important to learn for use in the future, while others believe that it is a waste of time and is not going to be used. Schools should teach cursive, so kids brain’s can benefit, and they can read important documents. Also, kids can learn to write their signatures so they can use it later in life. Cursive is more beneficial than a “waste of time.” First of all, it improves kids fine motor skills. This is important for many everyday activities. Additionally, kids can read important documents, or letters. If students didn’t learn cursive, they also wouldn’t be able to read it very well. Moreover, kids can learn to write their signatures for later in life. This will ensure that kids will be ready to sign bills and contracts when they are adults. In closing, I think that schools should teach young students to write in cursive, so their brains can benefit, they can use their signature, and so they can read important documents and…

    The first writers on Earth were not actually writing – they were drawing pictures of the daily life. That was long before the actual writing started. Those days one did not have to be creative to “write” – a piece of chalk and a cave wall was more than enough. Luckily, we have evolved, and despite they write, the present Homo sapiens also try to deliver a unique, one-of-a-kind written message to the world. Believe it or not, creativity is very hard to achieve, and now you will find out why and what do with it.…

    By the word victory we generally understand the winning of a battle. We know the history of victories of great conquerors like Alexander, Changiz Khan and Napoleon. But like heroes like Buddha, Ashoka and Akbor won greater glory by bringing to mankind the blessing of peace. We have seen the two devastating world wars. They crippled the world economy, maimed and killed millions of people. Civilization is the slow achievement of workers in peace time. Science and art, religion and philosophy or all developments are the creations of peace time. These can be happened amidst in the peaceful atmosphere.
