Oral vs. Written Communication

Oral Communication - I'm a 1st yr HS student. I go up to my crush and tell her in front of her... takes me 10 minutes to finally shout it out: I LOVE YOU

Written Communication - Same scenario except i write a letter to my crushI write all the cutest quotes i can think of, write how beautiful she is and how her smile makes you melt and how she could be the next Bb. Pilipinas. end it with XOXOxoXoxO

Same message, different styles of telling them. Basically that's what oral and written tradition is all about. They both are useful but at times, one is more useful than the other. Say for example, you're lost and you need to look for a place around QC. You could either ask or check your map, whichever suits you more. An example for only one choice is when making a contract with a friend or associate. It's better to make it written so that you have proof and that none of you will take advantage of it.

People these days tend to use written communication on important aspects such as work while Oral Communication is more reserved for our social life... sweet, that's it. END

Oral Tradition versus Written Tradition

During the past, laws and conduct were only spread through word of mouth. This is called oral tradition. History, law, and literature are orally passed down to generations. Although it was only through word of mouth, this laws were respected and being followed. Many contradicted this law because it has no evidence, thus, may be a hoax.
In contrary with the oral tradition, the written tradition is passed down to generations with a concrete evidence. Today, our constitution are examples of written tradition. Lawmakers revise the law to make it suitable for the citizen of a certain country.

The Holy Bible is a form of written tradition

ORAL AND WRITTEN

Communication plays a terrific role in linking people with one another and so collaborating to achieve phenomenal output. Hundreds of procedures in communicating has been brought to existence and used by man in order come up with more effective and revolutionary results. From an article discussed in class, we have tackled about how communication changed and so reaching its current state in human history. It has given us principles and thoughts on how does the “cyberspace age” plays a role and affects the awareness of each and everyone in the world.

The world has incredibly increased its population and so requires to a huge number of tasks performed by people in order to correspond with the demands of today’s world. The paper is one of the greatest and phenomenal inventions that man uses in order to prolong pro-long the length on their information and making information incredibly accessible to every citizen as well. As the paper is pioneered and becomes globally used, people still required much more rapid and constant communication. Due to this, people have come up with a new era of technology and communication. A medium in which everyone who is capable can communicate tons of information together with the fantastic uses of multimedia. This method can enable people to communicate regardless of their location.

I as an ordinary student, regards the internet as a gigantic source of information. It has helped give out paperwork and researches to my professors in a few minutes without having to go to them and give it literally. It has linked corporate leaders form opposite sides of the globe into working together and give out better opportunities. People from all over the world are then enabled to help collaborate and help each other through online forums. With this method, a single person can sort of influence people in a worldwide basis without having to go into politics for people to listen. All of these matters are made available to people as long as they have a connection.

With all the incredible and fantastic features that cyberspace can carry at rampant terms, the need of the people hasn’t changed. The basic demands of relaying a message, elaborating points and faster reply are still the same centuries ago. We have just improvised and made communication to people far more easier.
