 When we write, we have to clarify what we think. And so as an aide to clear thought, clear expression in writing is one of the best gifts that I can think of for a university to bestow on its graduates. It is a tool that will serve them, whether they're the warehouse manager, a large retail chain, or if they're fishing in Alaska, or if they're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Clear communication, the ability to construct and deconstruct an argument makes for better workers and it certainly enhances the level of participation in society at large. You have to know how to construct an argument in order to read an argument and understand what's being said. It makes better citizens. It makes them leaders in their communities. It gives them a creative outlet that is both modeling and persuasive to their fellow human beings. There is nothing more frustrating for a student who has things to say and does not have the skill to share that.
