What is Style?

I will try to answer the question, “What is style?” by taking a look at my own. I assume we are talking about writing style. My writing style, for the most part, is academic in nature. I have written mostly essays and research papers. Through this style I am able to disseminate information on whatever I am researching or believe is interesting. Style is the form one uses to get information across. I guess writing this way, on a keyboard or PC (even blogs) can be considered a certain style, just like the font and type of script. Did the cavemen have their own style? Or the Egyptians? Maybe something that was created out of necessity took on a style of its own. It's possible.

I don’t believe that anything can be style, though. If something does not have a purpose or reason for being created, then it’s just there and has no meaning. But, I could see a person arguing that that is there style and there is no meaning for anything.
