Zack, Jordan and I, all seem to agree that things have definitely changed over the years as to how woman are looked at in modern days. Zack says, "woman do not have to give up what they want to do" I think this is really important, in the fact that woman more than ever are working towards their own career goals, not leaving them to solely rely on the man of the house. Jordan mentioned in her post that she "thinks there are still men that believe women should be seen not heard" and I would agree with that, having a different culture (coming from out of state and up north), I see some things that are different down here and I think that some old fashioned southerners still have that mentality down here. Not all of course, but you can see how some people act in public and it gives off that impression.
Mythology is in our everyday lives, the entire story of our own lives is our myth. That doesn't necessarily mean that myths pertain to the literal part of our lives, but more so in how we experience events, such as our emotional reactions, and perceptions. Every time someone has asked me "what happened?", I construct a story in response around the event that has taken place, all of my memories are stories, that can be told to not only portray an event but to find meaning in what happened. I also have "heroes" in my life, my dad being the biggest one. I've always looked up to him and I am so thankful for everything he does and continues to do for me every single day. He instilled in my many things that have stayed with me, he passed on his own mythological elements in my upbringing. As mentioned in previous blog post, I moved down to GA from MD, and that was a huge part in writing my own story, my own myth, and has shaped me even more. That was an emotion...
