Communicating knowledge, expressing our emotions, signalling danger, building relationships
Which are the most relevant in creating and communicating knowledge?
Spoken language - probably the longest form of communication that's been around. People have been communicating through noises and listening for thousands of years, even before written language was created. By talking to people, we can also gauge their emotions through body language etc.
To what extent is it possible to separate our experience of the world from the narratives we construct of them?
Only the person themselves will be able to have an accurate experience of their own life. You can give people an impression by telling/writing to them about it, but this will only portray one side of the story, one perspective, and not the full experience.

3. We are all similar as human beings, but are all brought up in different conditions and environments. Thus, our experiences will be different as the context of perception will be distorted by previous thoughts and personal beliefs. However, we still often share many qualities, such as compassion and empathy to each other, as it is instinctual to our tribal nature.
