In this essay, Goody continues to investigate literacy by outlining its impacts on the transmission of standards of behaviour. He argues that if jural norms exist within both oral and literate societies, written behaviour guides radically transform the way they are applied, learned and formalized. In a truly comparative perspective, he examines a wide range of case studies, stemming from his earlier work on the language of flowers or the Bagree Society, as well as on other cultural phenomenons like the Ten Commandments and the expansion of the Chinese State.
