Story-telling is a part of

  1. News-bound cultures
  2. Culture-specific communication
  3. Technology-driven communication
  4. Mediated society

Correct Ans: (B)

Explanation:
Storytelling has always played a powerful role in how people pass down knowledge, traditions, and values. It goes beyond entertainmentโ€”itโ€™s a way of preserving identity, heritage, and shared cultural meaning. Thatโ€™s why we recognize storytelling as a part of culture-specific communication.

Different cultures develop their own storytelling styles, rhythms, characters, and themes. For example, African folktales often include trickster figures, while Native American stories frequently blend the natural and spiritual world. These narratives donโ€™t just entertain; they teach morals, explain history, and reinforce social norms.

Moreover, storytelling reflects how people think and relate to each other. While some societies favor communal oral traditions, others may use storytelling in written, musical, or visual forms. In each case, the method connects deeply with cultural context and shared understanding.

Also, storytelling in culture-specific communication adapts to the audience. For instance, elders in many Indigenous communities pass down wisdom through stories tailored for the young. Itโ€™s not randomโ€”itโ€™s a carefully woven method rooted in cultural relevance and experience.

In contrast, technology-driven or mediated communication often lacks this depth of cultural alignment. Though modern tools may spread stories, the essence and origin still lie in the culture that creates them.

So, the answer is B. Culture-specific communication because storytelling thrives where culture shapes the way people speak, think, and connect.
