Danger of a Single Story

1.)  What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? Kind of like stereotyping
  Having a single story of a place is to thinking of a specific topic, and write about that topic. Have you heard bad rumors about people places or things? Well just because you have heard bad rumors about that topic does not mean they are true, that is why they are called rumors.

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? Like how some people say short people play soccer but they don't.
                                                                                                                                           No I have not heard a single story around my community.  When I do I believe people are going to have disagreements and agreements.

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? Like some people think you are in this religion just because of your color.

 In other communities  I have heard people talking about a lot of crimes happen in a specific area, but that is not true because some of the people are innocent, NOT everyone is making a crime.  
                                                                              
4.) How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? A game about stereotyping.

 A game community should learn that not everything they hear is true!
