Single Stories


Single stories only give one piece of information, in other words you only hear one side of the story. It is basically a stereotype, everyone has heard stereotypes that are absolutely ridiculous but these single stories are stereotypes that we take seriously. What really must be questioned is why anyone decides to believe the one and only story they hear. As well as why we think that the only thing that could be true is the one story we know. I don’t understand why people decide that making these stereotypes is an okay thing to do. I think that unless you know what you are talking about you have no place to say anything at all. These single stories aren’t even right yet that is how we base our opinions and to me that just doesn’t make sense.
