Topic 1- The myth of the TitanicA) The most widespread myths about the sinking of the Titanic. The myths mentioned by Richard Howells diversify into five installments, "Women and Children First!", "We Will Die as Gentlemen", "Be British!", "Nearer, O My God, to Thee" and "The unsinkable ship". These myths are a combination of several characteristics: the attitudes of people who should guide their lives, age-related gender behaviors, and the ideals of the ship itself. Starting with "Women and Children First," this myth reveals the specter of the heroism of the men who were aboard the ship when the Titanic sank, as well as their actions to force women and children to go off first. from the ship. Richard Howells writes about the two different types of heroism, active and passive, while some men like the Captain of the ship acted on active heroism while saving a child; other men were named heroes for the passive actions of meeting their fate with death and allowing the women and children to exit the ship first. (page 123). While this myth does not embrace the actual women and children who leave the Titanic first, it focuses on the men of the ship and their praise for being heroic by allowing them to leave the ship first. According to Howell's research, the concern to save women and children first was based on the norms of the ancient law of the seas as synonymous with the law of human nature. (page 123).

It is a myth that demonstrates the values and expectations that men should have on every occasion, such as the sinking of the Titanic.

Myths are understood as elements adopted and transformed to adapt to certain cultural aspects of a society or a group of people. The other aspect of M-theory is the ideology that all the ingredients for creating existence are based on the pursuit of all that is created. by strings that move at different frequencies from each other. These different frequencies apply the distinction of a myth provided by Levi-Strauss, having the base as a string and the changing elements being vibrations at different frequencies. The commonalities between Levi-Strauss myth structure, Bach's Fugue and M-theory are their formulation around structures in order to create a theme, an algorithm or the foundation for a myth.
