Discovery and Conquest of America was achieved through the heroic acts of great men, is this myth or reality?

Before I discuss my stand about this matter, let me premier tackle fiction. As the definition, Myth (mythos) is a sacred account concerning the origins of the hu human race race or how the institution and the creatures in it came to ease up their present form. The dallyive beings in myths are gener every(prenominal)y gods and heroes. Myths often are said to take position before recorded history begins. In saying that a myth is a sacred narrative, what is meant is that a myth is believed to be straight by people who attach spiritual or spiritual significance to it. engross of the term by scholars does not imply that the narrative is either true or false.A Myth in popular use is something that is widely believed to be false. This usage, which is often pejorative, arose from labeling the religious myths and beliefs of other cultures as being incorrect, save it has dish out to cover non-religious beliefs as well. Because of this usage, many people take offense when the religi ous narratives they believe to be true are c anyed myths. This usage is frequently mixed-up with fiction, legend, fairy tale, folklore, fable, and urban legend, each of which has a distinct meaning in academia.If we go forth discuss myth further, and if we will elaborate this into details, as resignd, it takes quad before recorded history begins. So most likely, in that location is no basis or proof that it re every(prenominal)y happened in the past. And it is much easier to set out a certain claim or story because nobody reach experienced or witnessed such event. And the creative mind of writers/people is in that respectfore very useful. Writers or story makers can use some scenario, a make-believe story that eventually, readers or listeners will claim as a real thing that occurs or took place somewhere else in the piece somewhere back in time.How many myths and stories like this countenance roamed near the globe? Some where even taught in most schools and universitie s. 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, hold to it as the truth. right off, lets define reality. In everyday usage, it means the state of things as they actually exist. Reality is something that really happened or is happening. Most of the primal or significant happenings are docu manpowerted so it will be preserved and nobody will and can question its existence 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 great men cannot be claimed as myth. It is a reality. It is in the history. How would we ever come upond some of them and make a story about their battles and their respective(prenominal) lives and contributions in the entire landed estate if we really gaint have any basis or something to claim as their walks duri ng their time? Where did historians get their stories behind the past events?How writers of different ages, races derived their respective write-ups and claims if they come int have any research or basis in piece of music such things? We cannot say that it was merely frictional or referable to their abundant and wild imaginations, though we know that human beings are passing intellectual. And a lot of discoveries around the world are eminent to all races, that would enlighten and feed in people the hint or idea of what happened in the past or what people in the early years have or experienced before they vanished in the surface of earth.Heroic acts are not merely the act of giving someones life for the interest group of something bigger. It is not always the act of doing something great, it is not always visible in the naked eyes. Sometimes or there are times that quiesce is then the act itself of valiancy, of course it depends on the situation. And heroism is not metrical on how small or big it is, so long that legal action was done with love and dedication for something worthwhile. Lets have the Philippines as a clear example for this matter. We all know that there was a lot of invasion in the above mentioned country.But 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 heart 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 lock up, they made a difference. In the States, there are as well great heroes. To name some, there is fundament Ordroneauxre who fought the British in 1812 Haym Salomon who was the financier of the revolutionary war Col.Leon Dyer who served the country in the three wars Major Leopold Blumenberg who was a hero of the civil war and a lot more, in differen t fields, of different ways of showing their valiant acts for the country with arms wide-open. Furthermore, lets have the exploration of Christopher Columbus, if he and his men do not have any single chivalrous acts in their lives during their time, they will never discover land for territorial expansion. We all know that exploration took place not just for days but of years.And those men spent their lives for such thing even if they dont 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 discovered 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 d haves come and go but still, America stands still. Now going back to the main issue of the discovery and conquest of America that was achieved through the heroic acts of men as a reality and not as a myth, lets have the existence of Thanksgiving.If there is no single heroi c act in the past, if there is no reason to be thankful, so why is that so that America have this Thanksgiving which usually celebrated on the second to the last week of November? It is not merely for thanking the Almighty God for all His blessings and guidance for the only year round but as well as for commemorative the whole 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 unheralded issues and battles, America remains standing. Untouched and undivided. How come? Merely because, there is those men with open arms who are very much willing 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 guess thats 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. perchance they have unsatisfied curiosity, maybe some of their questions were not clearly answered. We cannot revel everybody nor to persuade them to believe in something that they really dont believe. by chance they need some proof. Or maybe, they just wanted historians/writers to prove their respective work a reality and not just mere a story to tell or something that will catch the whole worlds attention. People are entitled to hold on to their own opinion. Lets just respect each others point of view.
