Text is a tool that has\u00a0personal meaning and cultural significance<\/a>.(Garth) How\u00a0text is produced influences it\u2019s content<\/a>.(Jennifer)\u00a0Society is changed by text<\/a>.(Julie) \u00a0Text produces\u00a0feelings of power, powerlessness<\/a>\u00a0(Hallmark video\/Scott) and a\u00a0continuum of trust<\/a>.(Julie) Trusting text and the source of the textual communication is a concern for author and reader\u00a0(Black Robe video clip<\/a>\/Mark).<\/p>\n
