2 Single Story 2011

Danger Of Single Story

What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
when you think something before you even get there.You think it might be a bad place but when you get to stay there or get to know the people there they are sort of like you and that was a stereotype about someone or some place.


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?People think that the East side is a bad place and that is were all the drugs and gangs and all the killings happen and they think it has bad schools and they don't want people to live there.People don't realize that people in the East side can be regular people that don't do none of them thing and some of the schools has good attendance and they pass with a reorganization .People outside the community can either ask questions or visit the place and ask people what they think and how they know it is a safe place to live and they can also go to the schools like the one I'm at right now.




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?Once i heard that the West side is with white people that are red necks and they only listen to country music and they have big houses and they have a lot of money.One day i decided to go to the West side with my dad and sister and we went to visit my cousin that i didn't know of and he  told me that not all people out there is white and rich only 50% are and the rest are like Mexicans and others and they don't really have big houses or listen to country music.I could find out more by my cousin that lives out there or i can ask someone that has lived there before.


How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
The bad games that people think are real they are really not they just think that those parts of town do that when they really don't.The game that i will make will have details and they will be facts and no stereotypes about other Country's or the people that live there.

It was Taylor birthday and her mom decided to buy her a laptop and trust her with the internet and not get on the sites she is not supose to get on.Taylor's friends came over and they wanted to see her new computer and make her a ''Clickster" so she can see what people say on there about other people.Her mom only bought her the computer to write poems and story because she likes to write about things.Taylor is already breaking one of the rules by getting on that site that her friends told her to sign up for. The site asked for a lot of personal question and things that can be showen on the internet so eveyone can see it. When Taylor signed up for it , this boy named Jaimes asked her to be her friend and it was a fake profile that one of her best friends made to see what she said to that guy she dont even know.Taylor was crazy enough to tell that boy jaimes about her personal life and she really dont know him.Then this popular boy at school named Scott asked her to the school dance and she said yes to him but then thats when everything started to go wrong. That day when she went home to look at her "Clickster" Everyone saw what jaimes put on his status and he made up a lie that he slept with her and she gave him a STD.What he said was a lie and everyone started to comment and they were saying bad things about her and they made fun of her till at one point she snaped and she decised to kill herself.Her best friend got there on time before she really did kill herself  she had to go to the hospital and take some classes.Her friend  had to talk to a reporter and say things she did and how she felt and stuff.Now people were saying things about her and her friend they became friends again and they were going to sit down for lunch and instead they standed up for each other to the "cool group".Everyone had something to say....
