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.

yes that's true that written culture is much more believable than oral. oral is much of words spoken and could be forgot by the one who is hearing it. while in written you can read it again and again. c:
