Discussion 2 Instructions:
Frankly, many popular stories and
grade-school lessons about U.S. History are myths that Americans have
perpetuated throughout the centuries. In some cases, they may be
half-truths, while in others, they just never happened. How many of us
learned about George Washington chopping down a cherry tree, and his being
unable to lie about it? It is possible that some of these stories have
remained fixed in our culture because they produce good citizens, while in
others, we relieve our guilt for real or perceived past transgressions.
Whatever the case, these myths exist in great measure.
For this discussion, you will need to
Google "U.S. history myths" and choose a particular myth. Try
to mix it up a little bit -- if your peers have examined George Washington's
teeth a number of times, choose something different. Introduce your myth
and the reality, then explain why you think this it has been immortalized in
the American consciousness. For this last part, there is no wrong or right
answer. More than anything, I am looking for your opinion.
In addition to your answer,
please respond to at least three other posts.
