Is myth still have a role to play in economic, social and political change in any society today?

Dear Student,
Word Myth can be defined as stories, told by a specific cultural group to explain the world consistent with a people’s experience of the world in which they live. Idealization of leaders, of historical events, of the origins of a community or a nation, are some of the most common.
Myth explains the origin of all things, the reason of their existence, why is life as it is.
In social and political, it creates the codes of collective identity, unifies the beliefs of social groups and legitimates social and political institutions.
So, Yes we can say that even in modern times myth plays a fundamental ingredient role in economic, social and political change in any society of politics.
Regards!
