Even cavemen, with the help of rock paintings, images on stones and clay tablets, tried to consolidate the small amount of knowledge they possessed: about the species diversity of animals and methods of obtaining it. Times and materials have changed, but the function of the document remains the same: fixing information.
Instructions
Step 1
Each business paper, whether it is a household receipt, an employment contract or a contract for the supply of building materials, has as its goal the legal consolidation of relations between people. Unknown before and therefore not showing trust to each other, they want to be confident in receiving their own benefits, and therefore seek to write down in the document all the rights and obligations that bind them, point by point. Subsequently, in case of non-observance of the established rules, to prove his innocence, he can be presented by one of the parties to the court.
Step 2
The document may also contain information that confirms any fact from the life of people. For example, a birth certificate is an act that accompanies a person throughout his entire existence and is necessary to obtain a passport, SNILS, TIN in the future. Thus, a document issued once is not universal and is only the basis for the formation of a complex ramified system of official acts.
Step 3
Every step that an individual person takes from the moment of his first breath is recorded on paper: medical cards, registration at the place of residence, class journal and diary, certificate and diploma, and then - a work book and an agreement with the employer - every milestone in his life finds its visual display. Even travel by bus is impossible without buying a ticket with an individual passenger number.
Step 4
All financial transactions must have documentary support, ranging from an offer - a written offer of their services - and ending with an act of acceptance of work. Each paper is necessary to completely exclude the possibility of deception by one of the parties, as well as reporting to state authorities: tax inspectorate, pension fund and other structures.
Step 5
We must not forget about such a carrier of age-old knowledge as a book. Without it, the further development of humanity would be impossible, because it is she who transfers the wisdom of the older generations to the younger and frees them from the need to learn from their own mistakes. Schoolchildren study physics and chemistry, already laid out for them on the shelves, and deep-thinking minds - the reflections of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. The book in this synopsis is the very document that consolidates human experience and makes it equally accessible to all people. It allows you to accumulate information, which is the fruit of the mental activity of fathers and grandfathers.
