SHORT ASSAY

If Mythology is a body or collection of culturally specific narratives that support and validate cultures, and if Ideology is a system of abstract thought that constitute one’s deeds, expectations, and goals.

Then, elaborate on recent (rather than something that you grew up with) mythologies that has formed personal ideologies for you? (How and where were you interpellated, how have you changed, and/or how have you become an ideological subject?)

Brief Example: (You should elaborate more) – The moment in the movie ‘Contact’ where Dr. Ellie Arroway says, “If it is just us out there in the universe, then that’s an awful waste of space'” made me question my entire place in the cosmos. (Please don’t regurgitate greek mythologies… unless one of them has recently changed your perspective.)
