words..(do you prefer to say or to write what you mean?)

From an Internet Article i read about some of meaning of the oral culture and the written culture. All of them have points on how this two has differ. But for me there are words.

Oral Culture:

The spoken word is intimate, tied to the very breath and health of the speaker;

an oral tradition, it disappears when the oralists have all been killed;

carry emotional intonations as well as speech, and lacks the identifying characteristics

(pitch, tone, timbre, rate, etc.) that links speech to a speaker.

Written Culture:

The written word makes possible the autonomous survival of knowledge;

writing is impersonal, but writing displays styles;

writing had been introduced as a divine gift - from a civilization

In my own opinion, Oral or Written Culture has the way of giving their message to other people, but in different ways. Like in a Oral Culture it says that you can hear the voice of the one who is talking you can see of they are sincere or not. It also says that if the speaker have been killed there is no way for you to get the message. While in Written Culture they had been recognized as a divine gift in a civilization because they believed that there are some people who can write well. It also says that it is an impersonal because it is written in a paper and you can't see what is the emotion of the writer. But a friend of mine justified that writing is one of the sincere way of talking to a person using a sincere words to show your sincerity.

Again as for me, both of them are WORDS. There is a quotation that i remember it says "say your thoughts in a SWEET WORDS, because you might eat them" =) whether it is in oral and written let us be careful with the words we use.
