Unassailably, no literature , individual, nation , government , society or corporate body and business can survive and thrive well without practising and giving credence to the nitty gritty of transparency ! Transparency is a sine qua non for any meaningful development either in the private life , public life or perhaps in the field of literature.
What then is Transparency ? What influence does it has on the literature? What is the significance of transparency to the public life and personal development ?
Transparency is described as the concept of openness , honesty and accountability. It's the principle of making one/ activity accessible to the public for their critical assessment , analysis , evaluation , appraisal and scrutiny, all in a bid to enhance and promote public trust and support. Transparency is succinctly and explicitly termed as clarity , clearness , limpidness and translucency.
Science , Engineering , Business , Humanities and all other social contexts are direct beneficiaries of either the negative or positive effects of transparency. This therefore, establishes the efficacy of transparency.
Transparency in literature also explains the policy of ensuring openness and accountability in the field of literature. The beauty of literature is displayed and enhanced when journals , reviews , articles , poems and stories are written primarily for other to see, read , study and learn new things or meet the immediate needs of those individuals in the business of literature.
