What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
You hear allot about how Mexicans come to America illegally and how Africa is so poor, but that does not mean that all Mexicans are coming to America illegally,just because other people tell you that Africa is poor, that does not mean that in some country's in the continent of Africa are poor.That is the single story...

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?
I've gone to many place's were i had other kids ask me were i was from.I would answer "I'm from Mexico!"and they would ask "are you legal in the the US?" I had many things that came t my mind like "he watches to much TV" or "racist??" but i told him "yes i am legal!!! and mind your own bisness" .

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?
People think that African Americans are bad people but i think otherwise.I also dint think its fair to them that people look at the that way.

Those are all really great points. Racism and stereotypes are a huge part of society, and can really hurt people.
ReplyDeleteHugo your blog post is really great I understand how you must feel, it must be hard being stereotyped I agree that making a fun educational game can help others learn about people and places better.
