In the words of anthropologist E.B. Tylor, it is "that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society." Alternatively, in a contemporary variant, "Culture is defined as a social domain that emphasizes the practices, discourses and material expressions, which, over time, express the continuities and discontinuities of social meaning of a life held in common.".

Writing is a medium of human communication that represents language and emotion through the inscription or recording of signs and symbols.

In most languages, writing is a complement to speech or spoken language.

Writing is not a language but a form of technology that developed as tools developed with human society.

Within a language system, writing relies on many of the same structures as speech, such as vocabulary, grammar and semantics, with the added dependency of a system of signs or symbols.

The result of writing is generally called text, and the recipient of text is called a reader.

Motivations for writing include publication, storytelling, correspondence and diary.

Writing has been instrumental in keeping history, maintaining culture, dissemination of knowledge through the media and the formation of legal systems.
