2 Single Story 2011

"Danger of a single story"

1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? Its when you think about all the stereotype and judgment about the people in that community.
2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community? A single story I heard about my community is that gang members live their and just about the whole community are Mexicans. Whats missing in the story is that all the people their are not gang members and its a friendly neighborhood to all kinds of people.
3. Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community? One single story I heard about another community is the one in the East side. I heard it from my crazy uncle. He told me allot of things  I really didn't  believe but in a way i did. I would go to that community and see the stuff they do their.
4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? If you base the game on that place and try to focus on the problem.
