Mulroy questions

The decline of Grammar

1. Why were only religious texts preserved at first?
2. In your opinion, were the advances of learning beneficial to those of us living today, or harmful?

The benefits of learning cannot be underrated. With the advancement of grammar, cultures have been able to communicate and language has advanced. Although there is a sense of abivalence toward the learning arena as a whole, why with the exploitation of knowledge,no one can sanely deny that learning is not beneficial.

The advances in learning were defiitely beneficial to all of us living today. Any type of adavancement is good because it means that there has been some form of progression that has occurred which means things are working more efficiently. If people hadn't continued to expand their knowledge centuries ago or refined their methods of teaching, we'd probably be ignorant to some of the things we see everyday in our surroundings that we take for granted. Like knowing that the earth is the one moving, not the sun.
