Danger of a single story

1.What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? A Single story is when people judge you by your skin color and assume things that may not be true . They Can be Hispanic but assume your Mexican and they might say " ohh that girl is Mexican i bet she is poor and doesn't know English " . They look at the outside and put you with the rest of innocent people . A Single story is when they look at you from the outside and don't ask just Assume .

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? Me and all my cousins were born here but our parents were born in Mexico well some of us have dark skin and some have lighter skin . The ones that have darker skins suffered in school . My cousin went to elementary school he was like in 2nd grade and some kids used to always picking up on him . They used to tell him to go back to his state where poor people leave and that he was not born to be in this state . My cousin used to cry and didn't want to go to school . My Aunt explained to her that she was born in this state and that they had no right to say that about her she stood up for her self and proved that not just because she looked mexican they had the right to treat her like that . Even if she was they are nobody to humiliate her like that .People should learn how to defend themselves and not let nobody walk all over them .

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?

I Have heard that people say that popular girls are everything . In my opinion i have heard about cyber bulling and i think its not right . In every school there is going to be popular people but really they have no right to judge people from the outside . I watched the movie cyber bully and it really touched my heart. Mean girls were trying to make this girl life impossible . She was almost going to take away her life even her best friend betrayed her . They said really bad comments about her and assumed she was a prostitute and made a video of her so people could comment negative comments. She couldn't take it anymore she had enough . I learned that story when i was watching TV and i was like i'm going to stand up for people that are being bullied and not let them get hurt . I haven't really seen bullying in my school but if i see i'm going to help them by telling an adult and i don't care what people say about me . I could find out more about that community by doing some searches and looking up more movies about it.

4.How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? A Game would be interesting by people learning how to protect each other and stand up for each other .
