I am asked to write an article by an organization where I have my interview with. It can be on any topics that interest me. So I choose 'writing' as a topic. And end up in this article below:
Name one of the oldest living cultures! My answer will be writing. It is general idea that contents of the written symbols from ancient time, which are explored and studied by the archeologists, are the culture. However, if we trace back to the definition of culture, which is simply defined as a way of doing thing, this definition implies the way of people putting their thoughts and beliefs, in words and symbols as a type of 'cultures'. And it evolves overtime.
In ancient time, human wrote in symbols on the walls, rocks, leaves, without any ideas that they were actually carving and leaving their history for their future generation to study, help us understand their culture, what kind of life they were living, and from that we now develop.
Few hundred years back, scientists, poets, religious leaders put their theories in writing, in symbols that are now used by researchers as the fundamental for their new inventions or merely as a subject studied at school. To name a few, there are Sir Isaac Newton with his Universal Law of Gravitation, Charles Robert Darwin with his Theory of Evolution, and William Shakespeare with his poems and plays' script.
In this new era, most of us do not necessarily 'write', we type. It is evolution, because cultures change to fit well to the needs and changes in environment. There are millions of fiction novels published (Julia Roberts with her romance novels, Dan Brown with his thriller fictions, J.K. Rowling with her best-selling Harry Potter series), biography of well-known people written, true story in our society shared by our peers, or it is just journal posted by bloggers. At the end, the idea of writing is still the same, we are putting down our thoughts, carving our history, the way we live, the issues we face, our own simple principles of life, which nobody will ever know what kind of knowledge we have already provided and what use this writing will be for our future generation.
It is wonder what writing can do!
