    Cultural literacy is difficult to define today, as it depends on the abundance of knowledge in some fields compared to a lack of knowledge in others. The document questions whether someone can be considered illiterate because they have more information about bodybuilding than significant dates in American history. It also discusses how the line between literacy and illiteracy has blurred with technological advances and changing trends over generations. Additionally, the document states that the education system relies on failing to produce perfect students when many students just want to pass their classes, prioritizing grades over learning. As a child, the author closely identified with strong male figures like Hercules, John Cena, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    Cultural Literacy
    What does cultural literacy mean today? Is it defined by the lack of knowledge in one
    field or the abundance of it in another? Am I illiterate because of the above average amount of
    information I possess in bodybuilding as opposed to the few significant dates or events in
    American history? Where is the line drawn between literacy and illiteracy? Is there a line at all or
    is it merely the product of years of technological advances and generations of all different
    trends?
    Despite the invisible line of literacy, theres little to go off when asking yourself which
    side of that line, you as an individual, stand on. The country relies on its failing education
    system to manifest perfect students. When really these students who dont care about the grades
    theyre getting are just trying to pass. Grades are valued more than education, and when thats
    the case students fail. Does that mean the students are illiterate?
    As a child, I always found myself closely identifying with the biggest and strongest men
    in the world. Hercules was my favorite hero, John Cena was my favorite wrestler, and Arnold
    Schwarzenegger was who I wanted to be.
