Politics and jury trials are often about who can tell the better story. &nbsp;<br><br>We have discussed in this chapter how sacred stories shape meaning for cultures. In the same way the stories we tell about ourselves and our lives shape our personal worldviews and the way we see ourselves in that world. Can you tell a coherent story about yourself and your life experiences? &nbsp;<br><br>New research is exploring if we can reframe our lives by changing how we tell our own stories. For example, an intervention with Duke University students who were struggling academically focused on getting them to reframe their stories from not being cut out for college to just needing time to adjust. Students who received this intervention raised their overall grade point averages and were less likely to drop out than a control group. <br><br>Reflect on your own story, especially as it relates to education. How did the family you grew up in feel about education? What were your early experiences in school like and what impact did that have on you? What characterizes you as a student? What are your educational goals and why? How does learning about religion fit into your overall story?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cDreams from Endangered Cultures\u201d \u2013 Dr. Wade Davis (2003, ca. 20 minutes) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/wade_davis_dreams_from_endangered_cultures?language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/wade_davis_dreams_from_endangered_cultures?language=en<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Wade Davis is an anthropologist and extraordinary storyteller.

Often, this worldview is shaped by religious beliefs and values. Compare the creation stories of the Judeo-Christian religion (Box 3.1) and the Navajos (Box 3.4). How might the worldviews differ between these two populations based upon their different creation stories?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In our society, a religious organization might set up a table on a college campus and distribute copies of the Bible. In a small-scale society, a storyteller might set up a \u201cstage\u201d at a local market and offer to tell stories. How are these two activities similar and how are they different? How does the transmission of religious stories differ in these two societies?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the different theoretical approaches to the study of mythology?
