The Power of Narrative
Humans have a biological connection to narrative, which plays a crucial role in learning and communication from a young age. Infants begin to absorb information through storytelling, whether from fairy tales or songs, highlighting the importance of narrative across cultures and time. Studies demonstrate that communication, particularly through tactile and visual cues, is essential for social development; isolation can have devastating effects on children. This emphasizes that narratives are not just entertainment but are fundamental to understanding, connecting, and interacting within a community, including in workplace safety contexts.
