the danger of a single story


A single story means to have a judgement about a hole race. Also certain type's of people based off of one person and what they did.For example if one Muslim man is a terrorist it doesn't mean all Muslim are terrorists.

A single story about my community is that all Mexicans are poor.What is missing from that story is that most Mexicans are not poor or drug dealers most of them are like most people.I think that people should not keep talking to people like that.The way people could learn is that they can get on the computer and look it up but if they don't have a computer they could read a book or just ask a Mexican.

A single story I have heard about muslims is that they are all terrorists and that they are all mean.I heard it from the kids at my school and family.I looked it up on line,read it in a book,and my teachers told me that they are not all bad.

I would make a game were they have stereotypes and nice people.You would have two four things to say, they would have to choose the two things that would not be mean.
