Are myths still important to our culture?

I think myths are still important to our culture but in a different way.  I think that we gossip more than share myths but it still serves the same purpose.  Most of the gossip that we hear is of bad things and those can create moral for people to follow by like what not to do or what not to wear.  Back then myths were much more important because they really believed myths explained several phenomena in everyday life, not just about who is wearing what and who did what to who like it is today.

    I think that in our culture, myths are history. History that is undoubtedly important to understanding the earlier cultures of the world, but nonetheless literature that we now read as light entertainment or keys to unlocking information about ancient cultures.
