the best of the best myths, urban myths, or social, have been given a rigorous going-over. I think we've all heard this urban legend in our lives and the kind of fun to talk about it. We first grew out of an old folk myths that our parents use violence as a form of control we understand that eating watermelon seeds would not grow all the fruit in our bellies, to move our eyes would not keep our eyes that way, and, unfortunately, we learned that there were no Santa Claus, no Tooth Fairy, no Easter bunny, not a dead man with a hook for a hand .... Who can forget that mom and dad always had to walk 5 miles in the snow to get to school ... uphill both ways.
Remember one of pop rocks and cola? As he left, if you put a bunch of proper action of its mathematics and chased it with some soda, it would explode. This is one of my all-time favorites. Or what is one of Yum bubble gum bubble? Whenever you put a piece of Bubble Yum had a little crunch to it. This is due to the fact that it is loaded with sugar. But, as one of the best of the best myths, the story had to con actually contains spider eggs, and that's where it came from crunching. I love that one.
As Munich is a freelance writer Klaus Manhart repeated in his article, "likely story", in Scientific American Mind, people need myths. "The brain needs a story ..." writes, and the brain needs, after the story is told, will be able to "explain the unexplainable," [as Manhart notes Joseph Campbell discovered] to follow through on its imperative to "impose order on the world ."
may be right in his theory about why we need myths, we've also invited our responsibility when it comes to potentially harmful myths. I think that makes us feel smart when we understand them. Enter curious and inquisitive John Stossel, 20/20 challenge a journalist, the media starts to deconstruct the myths 2005th
As reported by LBN (Late Latest News), John Stossel took it upon themselves to de-mystify his version of the best of the best myths - of 1:00 to 10:00 as follows:
No. 10:. Americans have less free time than we have to
# 9 Money buys happiness.
8:. Republicans cut government
7:. The world is getting too crowded
Listing 6 Chemicals are killing us.
5:. Guns are bad
Item 4:. We are drowning in garbage
Number 3:. We are destroying the forest
Item 2:. Getting cold will give you a cold
Number 1:. Life is getting worse
Now, granted, thoughts like those belonging to Manhart, Stossel, indeed the most important drive to get their world makes sense for them to have to find an explanation for the seemingly inexplicable. But we really need to understand it all out in faith, determination and nihilistic malcontented spite? There is nothing wrong with a little mystery, and our life is there?
