The Danger of a Single Story: post

1. I've meet people and they talk about a certain group of people. and they say only one point of view, and they talk about the people like their aliens, but they don't know that the people their talking about is only a small percentage of the total population of that group of people.

2. I've noticed I have applied a "single story" when i don't know a lot about something, i don't always notice it at the time but once i learn more about something i notice what i knew was wrong and i feel bad about myself because I'm sure when some people see me they see one story and they don't think that i might have a story different from what they think i have.
3. A single story has the power to create a stereotype and change how people look at something(which can be good and bad). But people should try and look deeper and get more information, not just listen to one story. A single story can inspire someone or give them new hope, but a single story can also break someone down and shatter their universe. So depending on the story and the person listening or reading the story it can have different affects.
