What is the purpose of storytelling?
1. They link us to our traditions and legends, to universal truths. (Love is blind).
2. A story is a communication tool. It engages us through emotions and connects us to each other. We realize we are not alone. (Me too!)
3. Stories help us to understand ourselves better. (That's why you do that thing you do - you're just like your mother!)
4. Persuasive arguments often use stories to sway other people’s opinions and decisions. (politics)
5. Stories help us identify ourselves, the social values of our society, and our history. (Religion)
6. Stories help us understand the world. (Boy who cried wolf)
7. Stories help us to expand imagination and to create something new – whether through art or industry. (Client tells the designer what they want so the engineer can create it)
8. We experience empathy through stories. They help us experience something/someone else’s truth vicariously. (Mother / Father with new baby. You feel for them. You want to help them.)
9. Stories help us become better people by challenging our behavior and beliefs. (Becoming vegetarian when learning about the way animals are treated).
