Storytelling plays an important role in human culture

Stories are not just a way to retell facts and events. They are essential for our society and culture.

It helps people discover meaning

Psychologists have recognized for decades that literature is a way to help people find meaning. Science magazine's recent study suggests that reading fiction helps readers to connect with the characters' subjective experiences. The study's authors found that stories about people make people more empathetic. People who read stories were more interested in the story were twice as likely than those who didn't care enough to pick up a pen. Study also found that literature can help people find meaning in stories about other people.


It is a way of predicting the future

Some predictions are proven to be right. In the novel The World Set Free by H.G. Wells discusses the future wars. Authors often use stories to warn of the potential dangers if we don’t make changes in our lives. A story can show us the future, but we must also consider the author's experience and knowledge.

It's a great way to find peace

Storytelling can help to end social conflict and promote peace. It allows people to make positive changes within their own culture and by sharing stories from other cultures. It has all the trappings of a successful peacebuilding mechanism: it is accessible, requires no pre-conditions of literacy, affluence, or a specific medium, and is transcendental. Stories of courage and perseverance are also a way to help people find peace after overcoming their own difficulties.
