Here’s a question:
A nuclear waste filling ground was created. The content is expected to go under radioactive decay for a few thousand years and exposure to this is very harmful. How should this be indicated?
Here’s my answer:
I would fence the place up and put up a huge sign explaining what it is.
What’s your answer?
Think about how hard of a problem this could be without a “tool” called literacy.
The question answers itself, when you ask "How should it be 'indicated'?" Indication implies communication, and in this case a literacy of signs which includes the familiar triple-crescent radioactive symbol. Literacy is a matter of life or death, literally in this case.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to indicate the danger without literacy. However, I would put fence around the territory as you did and put a few signs with a skull and two bones forming X to show the hazard.
