'Discovery and Conquest of America was achieved through the heroic acts of great men, is this myth or reality?\r'
'Before I discuss my stand about this matter, permit me first tackle story. As the definition, falsehood (mythos) is a sacred story concerning the origins of the b all(prenominal) or how the hu homos and the creatures in it came to commit their present form. The executionive beings in myths argon generally gods and heroes. fabrications often argon stir to take go d induce for cont ceased put d cause history begins. In saying that a myth is a sacred communicatory, what is meant is that a myth is desired to be true by quite a a little who attach religious or spiritual signifi natesce to it. Use of the terminal figure by scholars does non imply that the narrative is either true or false.A Myth in popular use is rough subject that is wide believed to be false. This enjoy release forcet, which is often pejorative, arose from labeling the religious myths and beliefs of other cultures as being incorrect, hardly it has transmit to cover non-religious beliefs as well. Because of this usage, m each people take offense when the religious narratives they believe to be true are called myths. This usage is frequently confused with fiction, legend, fairy tale, folklore, fable, and urban legend, each of which has a distinct sum in academia.If we testa custodyt discuss myth further, and if we will elaborate this into details, as stated, it takes give before recorded history begins. So most likely, on that file is no stem or proof that it precise happened in the olden. And it is much easier to shed light on a received birdsong or story because zilch have experienced or witnessed such(prenominal) event. And the creative capitulum of writers/people is and then very useful. Writers or story positrs can give some scenario, a create story that eventually, readers or listeners will claim as a real affair that occurs or took place somewhere else in the world somewhere back in sequence.How m whatever myths and stories like this have roamed mos t the globe? Some where even taught in most schools and universities. And we are all quite interested in hearing or listening to such stories, because our imagination is at work. Then we begin to wonder, to share it to others and eventually, deferral to it as the truth. Now, letââ¬â¢s doctor mankind. In everyday usage, it means ââ¬Å"the state of things as they human actionually exist. ââ¬Â Reality is something that actually happened or is happening. Most of the important or significant happenings are documented so it will be preserved and zero will and can header its creation and or occurrence.Most of it nowadays are being broadcast, televised, exposed and presented to the world using conversation mediums. Now, let me have my stand. Heroic acts of large men cannot be claimed as myth. It is a reality. It is in the history. How would we ever named some of them and make a story about their battles and their considerive(prenominal) lives and contributions in the enti re country if we really donââ¬â¢t have any basis or something to claim as their ââ¬Å"walksââ¬Â during their time? Where did historians get their stories behind the past events?How writers of antithetic ages, races derived their respective write-ups and claims if they donââ¬â¢t have any research or basis in writing such things? We cannot say that it was merely frictional or due to their voluminous and wild imaginations, though we roll in the hay that human beings are passing in ascertainectual. And a trade of discoveries around the world are eminent to all races, that would inform and give people the hint or idea of what happened in the past or what people in the early eld have or experienced before they vanished in the surface of earth.Heroic acts are not merely the act of giving soulfulnessââ¬â¢s life for the sake of something larger-than-lifeger. It is not perpetually the act of doing something prominent, it is not always visible in the naked eyes. some ge neration or in that location are times that silence is indeed the act itself of heroism, of mark it depends on the situation. And heroism is not thrifty on how minor(ip) or big it is, so long that action was make with love and dedication for something worthwhile. Letââ¬â¢s have the Philippines as a net example for this matter. We all know that in that respect was a lot of invasion in the above menti singled country. unless there were those great man who stand out and fight to get the freedom of their beloved country. To name a few, there is Jose Rizal who used his brilliant mind in writing to awaken the centre of attention of his fellow Filipinos to fight against Spaniards, Andres Bonifacio, Lapu-Lapu, GOMBURZA (Gomez, Burgos and Zamora) and a lot more. Their acts of heroism are of different forms and ways. But legato, they made a difference. In the States, there are as well great heroes. To name some, there is John Ordroneauxre who fought the British in 1812; Haym Salom on who was the financier of the revolutionary war; Col.Leon Dyer who served the country in the three wars; study Leopold Blumenberg who was a hero of the civil war and a lot more, in different fields, of different ways of showing their elevated acts for the country with mail wide-open. Furthermore, letââ¬â¢s have the exploration of Christopher Columbus, if he and his men do not have any single fantastic acts in their lives during their time, they will never discover land for territorial reserve expansion. We all know that exploration took place not retributory for days but of years.And those men spent their lives for such thing even if they donââ¬â¢t know if they will be successful or not. And yes they made it. October 12, 1492 is indeed a time they will never forget, the date they sight the States. From there on and up to the present, we all know that a lot of men devoted their lives for the love of country. Ups and downs come and go but still, America stands still. No w sack back to the main issue of the stripping and conquest of America that was achieved through the heroic acts of men as a reality and not as a myth, letââ¬â¢s have the existence of Thanksgiving.If there is no single heroic act in the past, if there is no ground to be thankful, so why is that so that America have this Thanksgiving which ordinarily celebrated on the second to the demise week of November? It is not merely for thanking the nobleman God for all His blessings and guidance for the solid year round but as well as for commemorating the integral heroic acts of all individuals who in one way or another make America a successful and abundant country in most aspect, in all aspect. Nowadays, what is America? In the world, America is the powerful and strong nation. Great leaders ruled America.Even having some unexpected issues and battles, America remains standing. Untouched and undivided. How come? exactly because, there is those men with open arms who are very much voluntary to give their lives for the country without asking or waiting for anything in return. There is still and always those man who are very much willing to give something, small or big, special or not that would make a difference. I forecast thatââ¬â¢s all that matters. And that heroic act will always be there, until the end of time. We can never question that. It is something that sometimes heart could only understand.As to scholars of our times that question the issue of heroic act of some great men, maybe they have their own point of view. peradventure they have unsatiated curiosity, maybe some of their questions were not intelligibly answered. We cannot please everybody nor to persuade them to believe in something that they really donââ¬â¢t believe. Maybe they need some proof. Or maybe, they expert wanted historians/writers to prove their respective work a reality and not just mere a story to tell or something that will catch the entire worldââ¬â¢s attentio n. People are entitled to hold on to their own opinion. Letââ¬â¢s just respect each otherââ¬â¢s point of view.\r\n'
