•To what extent does oral and printed communication ensure a higher level of knowledge?

Question

Westerners live in a culture marked by abundant and frequent communication, both through oral and printed mediations. To what extent does this situation ensure a higher level of knowledge throughout Western culture?

Answer 1

Without answering your question *completely* for you, think about this general idea:

Some things that are expressed on paper (like a drawing or diagram) are not nearly explained as clearly or as easily as orally. Are there some things that are better explained by word of mouth than by printed information..?

Answer 2

not much
people mainly believe their co-fellows in certain matters .
TV, radio are more effective; as people pay attention to it as per their choice.
printed materials are thrown into dust-bins.
