Student’s name Instructor Course Date National myths and narratives Bellah’s “Habits of the heart” mirrors the American culture which consists of the individualist and the communist. Individualism is used as the first language and has for an extended period dominated the American culture. Individualism language underlines on the sociological perspectives whereby individuals and self-centered needs are the primary reality. This language raises self reliant citizens and upholds individual freedom over organizational belonging. As a result social relationships are perceived as useful transactions based on ethics of fair exchange (Beyerlein and Stephen 384-406). Community language Myths help in incorporating people into the existing political bodies and generating grounds of meaning in the political processes thereby preventing unmannered political antagonism and unpredictable forces of political representation. A nation as a narrative and myth emphasizes the insistence of political power and cultural authority. Works cited Beyerlein Kraig and Stephen Vaisey.
