Some of the most tragic of these stories carry important messages that teach valuable lessons of life. The messages sustain ideas, and ideals. They all help us better understand the human experience.

Stories are seen in the intimacy of family, the complexity of business, and the widespread public experience of leadership and followership. The vast modern entertainment industry is built upon a foundation of sophisticated multimedia storytelling.

Storytelling is humanity’s oldest form of literacy and
is the art of portraying in words, images, and sounds what has happened in real or imagined events.

Some stories that have been told from parent to child, have been repeated, adapted and improved from a time when there was no television, no radio, no newspaper, indeed, no paper.

The oldest forms of storytelling were oral: spoken words told from one person to another in an effort to communicate a message or a feeling.

Stories are also seen in the art work scratched onto the walls of caves. As human activities became more refined and more complex, stories were presented in images carved into wood, ivory or stone, painted on canvas, recorded on film and (today) transmitted in electronic digital images.

With the invention of writing, stories were recorded, transcribed and shared over wide regions of the world.
These written stories have become some of humanity's
most enduring messages of struggle, hope and triumph.
