Photographs are very popular media in present days to express human feelings. In my opinion, I agree that
this
Linking Words
is a great way to communicate with others nowadays,
however
Linking Words
, written words can
also
Linking Words
be an expressive way of communication. In one hand, images or films are powerful communication method as one can express his feeling with few images rather than a lot of writings.
In other words
Linking Words
, while only a single photograph can convey the exact emotion, thousands of words are needed to express it.
Secondly
Linking Words
, photos are easier media for those who can not read or write.
Hence
Linking Words
, an illiterate person can easily convey his emotion through an image which was impossible for him with written words.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, there are some topics, which are not possible to be expressed merely with pictures,
thus
Linking Words
, written letters are needed.To illustrate, a physics law or a reaction of chemistry can not be described only diagrams.
Similarly
Linking Words
, any emotional feeling
such
Linking Words
as love or hate is impossible to demonstrate with only photos,
therefore
Linking Words
, writings are
also
Linking Words
an important way of communication.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, it would have been extremely difficult for the philosophers to convey their philosophies to the general persons only by some films or pictures,
that is
Linking Words
why they use words to fulfil their purpose
instead
Linking Words
of images. To conclude,
although
Linking Words
, presently pictures hold great power in terms of communicating with people, written words, a classic method is really helpful to communicate as well. Each one has its own style of expression as photographs can not do something which can be easily described by words.
