A single story


What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

  • It means that that person only knows what they heard from others even though it could be wrong.It means that you only know one side of the story and that you judge other and places by what you know  not by what others or places really are like.




    • 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?

    I heard that only bad people  are in gangs and use drugs only live there, and that only the poor people that are not smart live there.But that is not all true there's allot of poor people that are smart.

    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 haven't heard o other community story.

    How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?

    The game could show what the community looks like, how the people act around there .

      Dear Melissa,
      I agree with you on hearing a story and only knowing one side of it. It's sad to hear but it is the truth. It was hard for me to understand what place you were talking about. It would be easier if you added more details.

      I completely agree with you about the communities and how there is always a wrong story about theat place. Also people are always judging others without meeting them.
