Robert Sklar’s term for “cultural myth” refers to the often unexamined assumptions and social unawareness of cultural features assumed to be uniform yet continue to be enforced in the portrayal of today’s society created by -according to Sklar- filmmakers. These myths set a basis to confine an idea of cultural portrayal that exist in films and other media. These myths are almost taken for granted today, however, when created, they were to display a certain perspective and possible agenda on how to display a cultural viewpoint of America’s society. The cultural myths are especially evident in Hollywood from the early 30s through today. Walt Disney’s moral tales incorporated in cartoons re-enforcing values shared by struggling hardworking Americans still existed in his comical cartoons; The idea that working hard with patience and persistence leads to results and happiness (Hagopian Class, 10/18, 2011). Conclusively, cultural myths are displayed through shared phenomena. For example, they are presented in films like The Flying Mouse (1934) where the lesson is “…Do your best. Be yourself.  And life will smile on you.”  (Hagopian Week 9 Powerpoint). Popular movies today express similar ideologies; where persistence and patience always leads to success. This is especially evident with numerous boxing and fighting films. The Pursuit of Happyness is another example where the idea of never giving up and always chasing after your dreams with honest motives leads to success.
