Philosophically, I have a problem with the Jungian/Campbell collective unconscious concept because the premise is that all people in all cultures share certain archetypes. This universality is a dangerous premise because any time you start analyzing the beliefs, myths and story lines of other cultures through a Western European lens, there’s going to be a cultural bias in the way. So, while I remain cautious about believing in universal archetypes, I still like stories that have the heroic journey as a theme. I am not alone in this. People love these kinds of stories. Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Frodo, and so many others are classic Campbell style heroes who have entered deeply and powerfully into the imaginations of millions and millions of people.

Aspects of the hero mentioned relevant to Hero's Journey for older students. Might confuse Grade 7's who don't do that many archetypes..
