Delivering Studies

...

Moreover, Samuel Johnson expands further by claiming that some caution is needed in order to prevent an abundance of knowledge devalued by inaccuracy and confusion. “To fix the thoughts by writing, and subject them to frequent examinations and reviews, is the best method of enabling the mind to detect its own sophisms, and keep it on guard against the fallacies which it practices on others: in conversation we naturally diffuse our thoughts, and in writing we contract them; method is the excellence of writing, and unconstraint the grace of conversation.” Importance of writing is emphasized various reasons. It enables to check over again a again to approve the truth in knowledge, complements problems which can appear in the conversation, prevents me from fallacies and sophisms, condenses our thought which is easily diffused in conversation. Method, which is a quality if being well planned and organized to be precise, and logical, is the advantage writing. Having no limit and able to freely add ideas is the benefit of conversation.

This concept is easily applied to the real situation. Different from presentations or conversation, writing can easily make a full result by amending various times. Since no one is checking the writing every second, the writer is free to edit the writing, which contains his thoughts and opinions. But during the conversation, if one proposes any argument that contains a flaw, it is hard to correct the wrong doings. When a word came out from one’s mouth, one can’t take it back. This concept is common in many adages and sayings. That is why false scandals are widely spread by people’s mouth. But during the conversation, one can easily add new ideas or knowledge that appeared in one’s head. In contrast, writing is hard to revise since organization is completed when the writing is finished. A new concept or opinion should break the overall flow of the writing to be added.

This concept of writing is agreeable. Writing is the best instrument that will allow people to organize and structure their thoughts in an efficient method. It deliberately leads to organization of studies easily. In conclusion, overall ideas of ‘of studies’ are apt in our society. But there should be a slight correction in the details to be more appropriate in the modern society.
