Abstract

The majority of the members of the old generation have acquired psychological, cultural and mental benefits which could not be enjoyed anymore by the current generations. Such benefits result from the positive nurturant effect of the survival of storytelling tradition in the traditional communities practiced anytime and anywhere; namely, before going to bed, in the breaking moment in the rice field sides, even during the plantation in middle of the rice fields. It’s lucky for the old generations, but unlucky for the younger generations. Today, storytelling has been an extinct tradition. These disadvantages get increased due to the high competition between parents and their children in social media activities. An important question, “How to reincarnate the storytelling tradition in the global and digital worlds?” Currently, traditional storytelling is difficult to witness anymore, documented folktales are limited, learning burden is high, and foreign folktales dominate. The extinction of the storytelling tradition should be anticipated by designing the strategies for reincarnating the storytelling tradition in attempt to inherit the moral values and build the young generations’ character. The prospective strategies are discussed in this paper.
