I have always been interested in literature, arts, and culture. I love reading stories of distinct characters, places, and unique traditions from all over the world. I guess I’m not the only one who feels this way. After all, stories fascinate people.
Storytelling is as ancient as the earliest history of man. Early civilizations have used storytelling as a social and cultural activity to entertain, educate, and teach moral values. However, the most noted importance of storytelling is how it becomes an effective medium for cultural preservation.
Although storytelling traditions and how stories are told around the world predate writing, cultures around the globe have successfully preserved some of its most valuable stories because of its unique ability to be passed from generation to generation.
