Politics and Sports(portion 3)

Myth plays a crucial role in terms the stability within society. It provides more than just a fiction story to the society. Indeed, it provides unity and without such an order the system will eventually falls apart. Sociologist believe that it “reinforce social cohesion and unity by presenting and justifying tradition order” This “myth” most of time exit in various form such as stores, symbols, picture sometimes it could even be a heroic individual. In my own opinion myth also serve the same role as civil religion. Their commonality is maintaining social stability, order and prosperity for the nation. Civil religion also expresses to the public through different way. For instance, flag, public ritual, symbols and so on.

One thing that I really want to least out is Members of the US military are uncomplicated epitomes of Americanness. Most people don’t realize it but its true. This idea is deeply embodying with another theory which are the Americanness way of get thing done is through fist. Not only this idea flourished in the states but also influenced many other nations. After Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and as we are entering the ear of resources. The belief of prioritizing military force is being taking by many nations. They are not right nor wrong, it’s just the law of jungle. The fittest survived while the weaker dies out. However, the military means a lot to this country. are the strongest country out of nations that stablished in recent centuries. Indeed U.S are the top power of the world. In my own opinion Unlike religions who has long history of existing, America has lack of symbol to represent this nation, to indicate who they are and to reinforce social cohesion. In the other hand, my country, China, we have believed that we are the heir of the dragon since the really first dynasty which exist and vanished four thousand years ago. This and many other myths played a critical rule when it come in maintaining nation order and boosting pride and that pull us together for centuries. In here their military power, flag is their “symbol”.  And of course, it served more than just a flag to people which are the main reason that why many people weren’t pleasing about sports celebrity taking knee during nation anthem. Furthermore, many people even hated him for that. Among them, the majority think its disrespecting the U.S military and which basically mean that its disrespecting this nation. “The citizen of this country has very passionate opinion about the united states Flag.” The other side believed that kneeling during the anthem does no such thing. They doing this simply just expressing their belief, and their intension wasn’t humiliating their own nation, and the passion they have for this nation has blind people from other perspective.
