illiteracy is a very serious issue affecting societies. In the United State
only, 32 million adults in the US being functionally illiterate, lacking minima
skills like reading and writing to function well in society. Unlike children,
adults seldom have access to remediation programs meant to tackle illiteracy.
So the possibility of going illiterate for life is high. Illiteracy comes with
a stigma, forms a cycle of poor literacy skills and gets difficult to
breakthrough. Most adult victims hide their inabilities in public places for
fear of been ridicule by the literate.

responses to the scenario These individual’s split-second decisions to
intervene or mind their own business reveals a typical response from the larger
society. WATCH
