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 first face up myth. As the definition, invention (mythos) is a sacred story concerning the origins of the tell apartledge domain or how the world and the creatures in it came to contain their present form. The active bes in myths are gener e very(prenominal)y gods and heroes. Myths often are said to take military position before recorded history begins. In saying that a myth is a sacred narrative, what is meant is that a myth is look atd to be true by people who attach religious or spiritual moment to it. Use of the term by scholars does not imply that the narrative is either true or false.A Myth in popular use is some affaire 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, but it has spread to cover non-religious beliefs as well. Because of this usage, m both people take offense when the religious narrative s they believe to be true are c exclusivelyed myths. This usage is frequently confused with fiction, leg close, fairy tale, folklore, fable, and urban legend, each of which has a distinct meaning in academia.If we testament discuss myth further, and if we will elaborate this into details, as stated, it takes gift before recorded history begins. So most likely, thither is no basis or check that it really happened in the past. And it is much easier to make a certain exact or story because cipher ca-ca experienced or witnessed such(prenominal) event. And the creative mind of writers/people is then very useful. Writers or story makers can give 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 world somewhere back in time.How m some(prenominal) myths and stories like this have roamed around the globe? Some where even taught in most schools and universities. And we are all quite inter ested in hearing or listening to such stories, because our imagination is at impart. Then we begin to wonder, to share it to others and eventually, hold to it as the truth. Now, lets posit reality. In everyday usage, it means the state of things as they actually exist. Reality is something that really happened or is happening. to the highest degree of the important or significant happenings are documented so it will be preserved and aught will and can question its existence and or occurrence.Most of it nowadays are being broadcast, televised, exposed and presented to the world using communication 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 named some of them and make a story about their battles and their respective lives and contributions in the perfect countrified if we really enduret have any basis or something to claim as their walks during 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 dont have any research or basis in writing such things? We cannot say that it was merely frictional or due to their plenteous and wild imaginations, though we know that human beings are highly intellectual. And a mint of discoveries around the world are eminent to all races, that would enlighten and give 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 sake of something bigger. It is not always the act of doing something great, it is not always visible in the naked eyes. Sometimes or in that respect are times that silence is indeed the act itself of heroism, of credit line it depends on the situation. And heroism is not measured on how small or big it is, so coherent that action was done with love and dedication for something worthwhile. Lets have the Philippines as a blank 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 appointment 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 still, 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 Salomon who was the moneyman 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 different fields, of different ways of showing their terrific acts for the country with fortify wide-open. Furthermore, lets have the exploration of Christopher Columbus, if he and his men do not have any single heroic 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 America. 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 bears 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 heroic act in the past, if there is no priming 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 complete year round but as well as for commemorating 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 grueling nation. Great leaders ruled America.Even having some unexpected issues and battles, America remains standing. Untouched and undivided. How come? nevertheless 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. Maybe they have unsated curiosity, maybe some of their questions were not clearly answered. We cannot please everybody nor to persuade them to believe in something that they really dont believe. Maybe 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.
