Spoken communication is more always powerful than written communication. Do you agree or disagree?
.....
There has always been a burning question of what is the most determining factor in communication. While a school of thought holds that spoken communication should be prioritized, another claims that written communication still plays an integral part when communication. Personally, I side with the latter view.
Advocates of the view that using words is more important in making communication stronger have their own compelling arguments. The key rationale in favor of this view is that oral communication is the fastest way of interacting with each other. Through vocal conversation, individuals will get the opportunity for immediate feedback to make sure the message was understood. Moreover, there is a high level of comprehension and transparency in oral communication as it is interpersonal. It is best in case of problem resolution. Conflicts, disputes, and a variety of other issues can be resolved through discussion. On these counts, it seems sensible why some gravitate towards spoken communication than written communication.
Notwithstanding how convincing the arguments in favor of oral communication are, I am still of the opinion that it would be preposterous to marginalize the roles that written communication played in human interaction. While oral communication indeed makes information be conveyed more understandable, such information is not frequently used as legal records except in investigation work. Written communication, because of its form can be stored for analysis to be made for ones to get a better understanding of the message it contains. Poems, for example, are preserved in books so that they can be passed down to the next generation without being altered by word of mouth. This is a testament to how monumental the role that written communication plays in the communication process.
In conclusion, while there are sufficient justifications to advocate spoken communication, I am still convinced that written one is of greater importance.
