Campbell's use of myth to identify the root of social ills is eye opening. In The Power of Myth he discussed with Moyers the importance of the right of passage and mused about the lack of ritual and myth in Western culture as a reason for youth violence and general discontent. Without a right of massage children don't know when they become adults. Fascinating man.
The series with Moyers is excellent, I'm upset they removed it from Netflix! The Joseph Campbell Foundation does a wonderful job keeping his words alive and progressing his efforts if you haven't had the chance to check them out! https://www.jcf.org/
