oral culture is the way for people to pass on knowledge, history, literature and other things without the use of a writing system. for culture it is a way to transmit culture through the voicing out of information. oral culture is very common everywhere for back in the day, especially when human beings were just starting to evolve and writing hasn't even been discovered or used a lot. people just rely on information about their cultures based on stories coming from our ancestors.
as for written culture, it is information about our culture that is written down. it is more believable compared to oral writing because this is actually written down and can be seen. it is more formal. especially if people are trying to prove something it is a lot easier to prove that something is true when it is written rather than stories of other people. written is more believable because stories can change especially how the story is told. whoever it is that is telling the story can twist the story or make it longer than it normally is.

SONA
the SONA had brought up a lot of big issues in the Philippines and how those problems can be fixed. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has sure said plenty of great things to better our country. like she said during SONA it is not easy to make this changes. but hopefully they will be able to fulfill their goals. plenty of the things that were mentioned during the SONA is to always better the country but that is always said. i'd like to see the Philippines eventually get through their rough times because i believe that there are plenty of things the Philippines can show to the whole world. there's just plenty of bad things happening in the country that are seen more rather than the good. which is why people believe that going abroad is better than staying in their own country. that alone is also a bad way of thinking. how can filipinos make their country better if they would rather leave the country instead of stay and actually help fix the problem?
