 It is better to learn the way people lived in the past through films and video record than written documents. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.

Indubitably, traditional knowledge is of paramount significance and there are innumerable ways for accessing it. It is often argued that the recording of video clips is a better option than written evidences for augmenting conventional information. However, I partially agree with the given notion.

Apparently, video recording holds wide range of constructive benefits. To begin with, the visuals are not only attractive and scintillating, but also retains in memory for a longer duration which is inevitably a contributing factor. To vindicate, a research by TESOL journal states that the word recited by human mind tends to swipe away after twenty minutes whereas videos make long-lasting impact. Secondly, unlike well educated people who can read articles, illiterate citizens can inherit ancient civilization knowledge through cinematography and visualizations. Therefore, films play most important role for retaining history.

On the contrary, the perfections supplied by written contexts cannot be replaced. Chiefly, if people remain unaware of various writings and paintings provided by ancestor to the next generation from long time ago on diverse surfaces of material like paper and wall of caves, they will end up building ancestral knowledge without cultivating an emotional connection with them. Besides, does the writings preserve  and give recognition to a particular throne? Certainly yes, these movies are directed to produce appealing and attractive videos for viewers.

To recapitulate, although there are numerous potential ways to preserve the historical data and significant occurrences from the past, everyone has the right to elect the media based on their tastes.
