Myths and Heroes
Heroes are everywhere. Every day there are news heroes.
But what does that really a hero ? it’s a person who is admired
for his or her acts, a superhero, a model or again a icon. while
a myth can be defined as a story about gods or heroes, it can
be an tradition or an false idea. So it is to know, how the
myths and heroes affect the people ? To answer this question, i
will present two documents.
We all need a hero in our lives, the heroes sell of the dream. In
the document 1 "What a hero is ? ” with Jefferson and Grant,
Grant told Jeff that he can be a hero, because he do dreaming
all the childrens , he is a model for them .The Heroes give us
hope, in Document 4 " I have a dream", one can see that with
his speech "I Have a Dream", Martin Luther King dream of a
world where everyone would be equal, that black people and
white people could live together without there are have one
above the others. Which shows that these are the acts of the
man who determines whether or not it is a hero, a hero is not
necessarily someone with magical powers
There are not that positive impact, there are negative points on
the myths. For example, in document 1, you can see the whites
believed blacks knew nothing, had no feelings, not feel
anything, while that is only a myth. though later the blacks
knew that this was wrong and a myth but they have continued
to say that they do not want to mix with the blacks. During
segregation in the United States, blacks and whites were not
equal, the blacks were even killed by whites and the
government has not said anything.
Myths and heroes affect people positively but also negatively.
Negatively because they can believe in a story that is not
necessarily true and and tell the future generation so that the
hard history. And positively because they can identify with the
hero and learn a lot of on him .
