Here is my not-so-regular series on the media and how it affects relationships. I am a firm believer (though sometimes poor student) of thinking independently and challenging, if not finding the source, of what we accept and believe.

Storytelling is a key concept in human society - it's how we bond, learn and grow. Humans are highly social and our storytelling transformed from sitting around the fire trading stories to our media today.

Every piece of chain mail, ever urban legend is passed in the same channels as breaking news and literature. Follow my somewhat casual study (and opinion) of how certain "storytelling" can impact and has impacted our relationships.
