Modern Myths

Okay, so I'm reading chapter 3 in David Crow's "Visible Signs" book and came across something that caught my eye. On page 62 and 62 Crow discusses myth and how there are too many misconceptions in society and how the public has falsely associated themselves with the images of certain things around our communities. He talks of the media and how they manipulate our senses by controlling language and media, thus signs are misleading or hidden subliminally to further draw the average Jane or John Doe. He states, "In today's society the modern myths are built around things like notions of masculinity and femininity, the signs of success and failure, what signifies good health and what does not." I thought that was very true of our weary-eyed culture in the United States, but it is what it is.
