Document Summary
Sound exists only when it goes out of existence (cannot look at full word once: pronounce by letters, and by last letter, first letter sound = gone) Mnemonic techniques: no writing, different forms of preservation by thinking memorable thoughts: rhythmic patterns, rhyme, repetition. Spend long time repeating info to recall & retain, therefore highly conservative minds- hold info & traditional values. Thought processes hinder innovation: memorize, cannot create new ideas. Limited in originality, but not lacking: elders job (to convince people of beliefs (also if new)) Poverty: no formal education (skill set employers find valuable) reading/writing, cultural relativism; no writing= no means of escaping poverty. Luxury of focusing on what important to memorize organized concepts in writing- memory doesn"t have to be as good. Communication methods: poems/stories (different than that of canada) Land provides characters, believed unity between humans & animals & universe. Because the past repeats itself (seeing future in dream)
