What is myth? What can it do?
| Myths are stories individuals and communities create that help them make sense of their world and defend their own needs, beliefs, and values.  | Myths reveal things about our ids (our human needs, desires, and dreams), about our egos (who we are in the present), and our superegos (our ideas about right and wrong).  | Myths connect us to our roots, help us live in the present, and guide us toward our future.  |
| Myths are like doors or portals to imaginative worlds (think Alice in Wonderland).  | Myths describe our individual and community hero journeys.  | Myths establish balance in our world (or at least in our minds).  |
| Myths create big ideas, metaphors, and symbols for us to live by.  | Myths establish who's in power and who's not, who's in and who's out.  | What is your definition of 'myth'? What is your definition of 'American myth'? What are your own 'myths'? |
