What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
To have a single story means that you are bias or prejudges to a place, person, or thing without having any information about it.
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 assume that East Austin is very "ghetto", or there is a lot of trouble happening there everyday. East Austin isn't ghetto or dirty like everyone says, its just like any other city in Austin. People could get information by visiting here or talking to someone they know that lives in East Austin and ask them how its like.
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?
I've heard that downtown Austin area is very dirty and loud, but really it is not dirty or not as loud as everyone thinks it is. People could get information by driving by or visiting downtown.
How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
It could let them experience the stories about theses places or communities because it would give true information because the game inventor would have to do research to make the game as real as is can be.
