Since in Unit 5 we were doing most of our reading and summary in creation, destruction, and change, I chose to link the myths to how we live in society now. Just like some of the creation myths I was reading, it seemed that in order to create the world came a sacrifice. In some cases it was not a sacrifice it was certain creations who were made and disobeyed. Even though the purpose was to create a beautiful place, it took a different road and chaos built upon them spontaneously.
Coincidence? If we look at the world now it is not difficult to identify that there is a various amount of problems right now. For instance, this picture from Banksy shows a little boy who is saying, "I remember when all this was trees". This world was once created with outstanding nature and due to human beings all these buildings, factories and much more were created that is killing this beautiful place we live in. Apart from all the issues this world consist, the myths are similar to how we are living now because of the destruction's and changes this world has come to.
