...relate to one another and to the world at large? What should our values be? How should we behave? How should we not behave? What are the consequences of behaving and not behaving in such ways?" Leonard and McLure, (2004) There are many ways that the word myth is used as well as independent definitions and just as many correlations between different cultures for the same myth. Let's look at the foundation of the word myth and all of its implications. The term myth is most popularly used today as something that is false, an untruth if you will – an urban legend; a rumor or a hoax. There are many things here in New Mexico that are considered to be a myth. We are home to thousands of Hispanics. There are many "myths" here in New Mexico about Chupacabras – which are literally translated as "goat-sucker", from chupar ("to suck") and cabra ("goat"). Wikipedia, (2015). We have much livestock here in New Mexico and purportedly, some of them were often times found dead with no blood left and three holes that were punctured in their chests – just one of the stories of this area; and a story that was brought over from Puerto Rico, where it originated. Another myth that is told to our children here is the tale of La Llorona – The Weeping Woman. This tale has been told to children for hundreds of years and is used to frighten children and to discourage them from going into the dark alone as La Llorona might snatch them up and never return them. In contrast, myths of old were used to explain things...

For example, what does the statement, “It’s a myth” mean? In contrast, how is the word myth used in the academic context?

According to Harper (2010), "a traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, especially one that is concerned with deities or demigods and explains some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature. " Dictionary.com defines myth as a traditional or legendary story. The word myth is used to address what is real and what is not real in academic context. For example; some traditional and legendary stories are Santa Claus, St. Nick, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy. These stories became a part of many people everyday lives. The myths of these stories were told to young children to get them to understand rather than give them the full truth in details.

...fully truthful. Portions of the story maybe true but other portions of the story are exaggerated or told in a way that the person understands. Tall tales, fairytales, or urban legends are examples of myths that help explain things to people or children especially in a way they can understand. The statement, “It’s a myth” means that the story is not true, there is little truth in the story, or an explanation of the unknown. For example, as a child many of us are told about the boogey man. He is a mythological creature created to spook or scare children into behaving or to stay away from dangerous places. The boogey man is a common mythological theme told across different cultures. Each culture has a name for the boogey man, such as the Chupacabra, the Lady in Black, Bloody Mary, the Man under the bed, or the most common of all the Devil. The myth of an allege boogey man was created to scare children or bring fear of the unknown. The myth of the boogey man explains to children that there are bad people or places in the world and to be cautious. Another common mythology theme is the existence of a higher power or being who created earth, the universe, and all things in it. Each culture has a religion and they are used to explain how things started or became of. If we do not know how to explain something we make up myths to explain them for us in a way that could be universally understood. This brings us to our next topic, of how mythology and...

... After reading the chapters and analyzing them the word myth is defined in my words as some type a story, maybe even a special story that concerns early history of some people or some type of explaining of a social or natural phenomenon. In my opinion it involves supernatural things or events. So, the statement "It's a myth" can mean different things to different people. To me it means something that is maybe unexplainable or not real, but to other it may mean some type of historic event that were told when they were children and to this day believe it is true. If I were to describe "myths" in my own words I will say that myths is something that we grow up with. Where I am from they taught me about "El chupacabra", this in Puerto Rico means some kind of animal that lives in the woods and eats cows. In some other understanding I will say it sometimes means history of our ancestors that many times we find them hard to believe. In the world we live in today we have so many different sets of minds and different ways of thinking. Culture is one pf the main factors for this. For example, the Thai, Japanese, Koreans and the Chinese all have traditions of a rabbit in the moon. They all differ about what the rabbit is doing. The answer to the most common mythological themes would probably be ranging from apocalypse to animals, and to World Tree...

...well not for a long period of time. There have been “supernatural” activities reported around the globe. To clarify what are these supernatural entities, I will explain what they are. A ghost is a dead human spirit that manages to communicate with the living in any way such as noise making, moving objects, opening or closing doors. Demons are basically “the minions of Satan.” What today’s ghost hunters believe is that a demon is a ghost who was really angry or misunderstood. Other people believe that demons were ghosts that were mean and cruel in their living life, and past it down on to the afterlife. Cryptids are legendary creatures or animals that are suspected to exist but conclusive evidence is still missing such as Bigfoot and the Chupacabra. Telekinesis is the ability to move objects with your mind, which is a metaphysical phenomenon. The only evidence that is really there is personal and religious experience. “Put on the whole armor God, that you may be able to stand against schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic power over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”(Ephesians 6:11) From the Christian’s or a religious view, they believe in evil spirits, good spirits, and demons. What the bible is saying is that with the power of God, you can stand against the evil forces of the devil. We do not fight against with our own kind but against...

...Dorner vs. LAPD (If you have trouble accessing site, the document is viewable at the end of the manifesto) From: Christopher Jordan Dorner /7648 To: America Subj: Last resort Regarding CF# 07-004281 I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days. You are saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you knew who always wore a smile wherever he was seen. I know I will be villified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name. The department has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days. It has gotten worse. The consent decree should never have been lifted. The only thing that has evolved from the consent decree is those officers involved in the Rampart scandal and Rodney King incidents have since promoted to supervisor, commanders, and command staff, and executive positions. The question is, what would you do to clear your name? Name; A word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to. Name Synonyms; reputation, title, appellation, denomination, repute. A name is more than just a noun, verb, or adjective. It’s your life, your legacy, your journey, sacrifices, and everything you’ve...
