Malcolm X: A Homemade Education
Malcolm found that even though he could move people with his words, he could not with his writing. he also had trouble reading because his vocabulary was limited. During his time in prison he worked on this by requesting a dictionary and writing material. He proceeded to copy the entire dictionary to learn new words and work on his penmanship. After this he spent most of the rest of his time in prison reading books.
Cultural Literacy
Cultural Literacy is a person's ability to understand and interact with a dominate culture. This includes things such as being able to communicate with the people, understand their reading and writing, and finding meaning in the symbols of that culture. This changes from place to place, for example; I would consider myself culturally literate here in Columbia. I know how i need to interact with the society here, I can read the street signs or listen to the news and understand it. On the other hand if i were in China, i would consider myself culturally illiterate due to my lack of knowledge about their culture.
Cultural Competence
Cultural competence deals with ones ability and willingness to interact with different cultures. This differs from cultural literacy in that literacy is ones understanding of a culture and competence is one's interaction of a culture. Although they are not the same there are many aspects of both that overlap.

Sender---(message)--->Reciever
Sender<---(feedback)---Reciever
The sender takes his thoughts and ideas and organizes them in a logical order. He then gives his message to the reciever, in this case, in the form of writing. The reciever then takes that message and transforms it into thoughts and ideas of their own and expresses how they feel about the message in the form of feedback.
