Advantages of Literature (1) : Characterization and the Application of Communicative Skills for Careers and Living a Life

Abstract

In people’ points of view, the advantages of literature are basically divided into two types: direct and indirect benefits. The direct benefits are for earning for living (or making money), such as literature teacher, language teacher, poet, novel writer and literature critic. The second one is indirect and abstract because the benefits are mostly related to thoughts, emotions, and esthetic, such as entertainment, art and culture preservation, promotion of morality and enhancement of life experiences and language learning. Yet, the advantages of literature can be considered in another different view. In this article, the focuses are on the advantages derived from the application of communicative skills for careers and living a life. The benefits that are found in “Characterization” are actually applied to life and careers without noticing for a long time. The article is beneficial to broaden the understanding of the advantages of literature.
