Barthes spoke of myths being supported by the bourgeois middle class. This is how they asserted their values onto others. He used the study of signs 'semiotics' to explore this.
Narratives support myths, awareness of types of myths in order to explore different cultures, traditions, popular phenomena and their implications. Myths focus on one particular view and emphasize it, in words myths are biased i.e. not objective.
'Among the vehicles of narrative are articulated language, whether oral, written, pictures, still or moving, gestures and an ordered mixture of all these substances; narrative is present in myth, legend, fables, tales, short stories, epics, history, tragedy...' (Barthes R 1975)
myths are supported with a narrative for a purpose. Barthes claims myths manipulate to sell products (similar to Marxist theory) The narrative is needed so we become familiar and are drawn sympathetically to the myth. We are completely susceptible to the powers of images.
Myths and stories are likely to be shaped to get our sympathy/empathy in order for them to be believable.
Any word can be loaded with bourgeois idealism. Barthes understanding of myth is the notion of socially constructed reality which is passed off as 'natural' ... in Barthes view, myth reinforces the ideology of capitalist society.
Ideas can be naturalised and accepted as truth. We are encouraged to take on and believe these myths through archetypal images, these in turn are built up to reinforce archetypes and hence myths. These form our psyche and understanding; how we interpret.
We all in turn are drawn to myths and align ourselves to them.
The Homogenization theory - the media function to mainstream society to erode independent thought.

Child labour was once considered acceptable - though we see how that changes when we unpick a myth, a shift of cultural awareness.
Everything in our cultured shifts according to the social political change. informing each other comes as a result of these things.
Commodification theory - capitalism tends to turn all objects, work and relationships into commodities things that can be bought, sold, valued.
Pop art - critically emphasizes the position of commodity, in culture, cultural phenomena as icons.
