21th century
Today we work with the written or spoken word as the primary form of communication. But we also need to understand the importance of graphics, music, and cinema, which are just as powerful and in some ways more deeply intertwined with young peoples culture. We live and work in a visually sophisticated world, so we must be sophisticated in using all the forms of communication, not just the written word (cited by J.Daly 2004)
