FAQ About The Cultural Significance of Spoken Narratives
Why do some cultures prioritize spoken narratives over written ones?
Some cultures prioritize spoken narratives due to a strong emphasis on oral traditions as central to cultural preservation and communal identity. In societies where language, literacy, or written resources have historically been limited, oral storytelling offers a practical and accessible method of sharing knowledge and keeping traditions alive. The communal aspect of oral narratives also reinforces social bonds and cultural continuity.
