It is easy to choose a topic and write out of it, but it is not worth it if done without a purpose.
Writing comes naturally, unfortunately, not all writers have the initiative to use their talent or skills in making something useful. Therefore, most of their written works focus only on their field of interest, overlooking numerous issues or problems concerning our well-being and our country’s as well. As such, in writing, we should consider its orientation and its focus to make our written work ‘development-oriented’ in nature.
According to Nur Lemuel Castillo who is part of the upper-class development communication students, the top three characteristics that make a topic development-oriented are:
- It promotes any of the 4E’s of Development Communication.
- It deals with stories of marginalized communities.
- It tackles open ended issue.
Through these conditions, we can assimilate that a development-oriented topic commits to bring awareness, solution, and most of all to influence the people to move for the betterment of our lives. Also, to give meaning and knowledge to the continuous cycle of problems faced by our world. As such, it embarks upon issues which concern not just one, but the whole nation for the greater good.
Indeed, through writing development-oriented topics, we can end these problems and fulfill our ambitions and dreams of having a developed country. That is why having a development-oriented nature is important to create change and bring peace and enjoyment in our lives.
