2 Single Story 2011

" Danger Of A Single Story"

What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

It means when someone judges something over what they have heard and judge them over what the people say.

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 say that the schools in East Austin have a very low performance because a lot of kids drop out of school. We are in the news a lot and people think this is a bad place and that there's mainly only Mexicans and African Americans. What We could change about this is that we can show them that East Austin is not the way they think it is.

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?

Another story is that in the news it came up that there was more white people in the East Austin. What they mean about this that in the East Austin only Mexicans , African Americans and few white people. So they are saying that more white people are coming to live in the East Austin. The way that you can find out more about the community is by visiting the East Austin and experience how it really is. Oh and I learned this story in the news.

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?

A game can experience many stories about a community by actually showing how the community really is and how much education we get in the East Austin schools.

The different types of cyperbullying are:

• Gossip


• Impersonate


• Exclude


• Threaten

What should you do if your being cyperbullied?

I should let a trusted adult know whats going on and even delete that person from your account.

What are some reason people cyperbully others?
I think some of the reasons are because they are better than them so they are jealous at them. Another reason maybe because they think its fun to do it. Another thing is that they are cyperbullying someone because they have learned from someone that has done the something to them.
