Myths & HeroesLook at the definition.A myth can be defined as a story about gods or heroes, it can be a popular belief or a tradition or a false notion. Some myths may have started as true stories but as people re-told them some parts may have been changed by mistake, or to make them more interesting.A hero can be a mythological figure, a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. It can be the main character in a book or a film or a person with superhuman qualities. It can also be a modern-day hero, a person who has performed a heroic act or simply our own personal hero, our role model, who we look up to.

In order to live together, members of a community accept rules, regulations, and laws. This helps to create social cohesion but can also lead to conflicts and tensions. Even when authority seems absolute, there are always counter-powers which question it, aim at limiting its excesses and resist it.Do you still think Brexit and Donald Trump match this notion?
