Overview
While all humans have told stories since the early days of history, there are some differences in the ways that various cultures have created and communicated their stories throughout time. These cultural differences in storytelling often speak to the communication preferences of diverse audiences. By assessing traditional stories from a variety of different cultures, we can better understand the communication preferences of those audiences today.
