2 Single Story 2011

''Danger of a Single Story''

What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
It means your story and how you been treated and stereotyped like if you live in a bad community people from other communities are going to say that everyone in the bad community is a gangster or a band person whose going to steel.And also it means how you treated other people like they treated you and how you felt.

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 that i heard from my community is that I live in the East side and everybody thinks that its bad and theres lots of crimes.But its not like that its different like when i go to a store and the guy of the store is always looking at me like if I'm going to steal something.And people could learn more about our community is by passing by and seeing how where not like what the news tells them.
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?
Theres one that i heard that they said that alot of white people are moving in to the Eastside and how theres less and less Hispanics living there because the rent is becoming more expensive so there moving.I could find out more about that by going on the Internet and seeing the news.

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
By telling them how other communities are and the story about the communities and how some communities are not like what they hear on TV or by other people.
