Can Writing Make A Change?

Can writing truly make a change?? Can it make people see things differently and think of things in a different perspective? To the open minded anything is possible. I believe that writing can bring about change regardless of the topic or the style. Be it a poem, a letter, a narrative, a short story, or an informative piece it still effects the way we see things.
Writing is the main way of communication amongst the world. It could be written in Hebrew or Spanish and still have the same meaning around the globe. It can be about happiness and people would be able to communicate to it. It could be about hope, despair, anger, and everyone would be able to connect with it in some way. Writing is the best way to express yourself and the things you see feel and hear. You never know when something you write will be read, and when read, taken as inspiration or even in offense.
You can feel a certain way about a subject and then read a paper or speech about it and change your veiw on said subject. In Dr. King's letter he spoke about how his rights were being violated and that he as a black man should have the same right to vote and have a say in the law as the white man. Many people opposed to this but when people read his letter it inspired them and changed their views on alot of things. Dr. King was a great inspiration to everyone through his writing and his words. With just his writing the world changed.
This is exactly why writing is so important. It can alter the world as we know it and change our veiws about anything and everything. The world has powerful writers with powerful veiws and takes on different matters. All we can do is read and form our own veiws and takes on the same matter. But either way it will have been because of the writing that we have read or the speech that was written and heard.
