Conclusion

Folklore is as old as human history, without it’s help, it’s ability to spread out and bind civilizations, we have no telling of what human society could have been, or what actions man would live by. Folklore perpetually trickles into modern day, it is a force of narrative that will never die out, and a narrative that proves most strong in educating the young, in social response as well as with social ethics. Without the action of storytelling and the content of stories, a vital part of a child’s education is cut out of their lives. Little do people realize how important folklore is in not only childhood development, but to the whole of human’s collective growth.

“None of the humanities, be it ethnography, history, linguistics, or the history of literature can do without folklore. Little by little we are becoming aware that the solution to many diverse phenomena of spiritual culture is hidden in folklore.” (Lieberman, 3)
