Modern Oral Tradition

Modern oral tradition refers to the ongoing practice of sharing stories, history, culture, and values through spoken words rather than written texts. It adapts to contemporary contexts, including storytelling at gatherings, community events, podcasts, or social media. This tradition preserves collective identity, morals, and experiences, often passing them from generation to generation. While it continues to evolve with technology, its core remains the spoken word as a powerful way to maintain cultural continuity and foster a sense of belonging within communities.
