I dont think Donald Trump and I treat people the same way. I could be wrong.

I wonder if you could call that propaganda

Kent I like your comment. How do you think a single viewpoint could be seen from the opposite perspective as inflating a specific group? Do you think it could flow in that direction?

And as teachers, we are often the single story for a child on a particular subject.

To Kent...especially stories.

True!  Just as it's unfair for someone to ask me to "represent" my gender, religion, or race with my opinions, do we (unintentionally) ask minority students to be representative of their SES, race, religious, or gender communities? -Amanda

I like what you said. The question I have is can we get the proper perspective from a single story? Maybe. I dont know.

I think it is our responsibility as educators to make sure that students hear and see more than a single story.

I totally agree.  It's interesting how you can become embarrassed or bothered by
someone who might be seen as a representation that could reflect on your own place in the world.

Interesting

I agree but I think you could have gone into more depth with your response. Why is it so dangerous to be compared to Trump?

You are very right. A single perspective is narrow perspective. It is a very a blind spot for me. Petra

I agree the story alone is not the threat, its the conclusions from those stories.

I agree that a single story can be extremely dangerous, but it is often through single stories that we build up many stories and have a better understanding of our world and the people in it.

Stories are powerful so-yes-one story can be dangerous. Additionally, humans are connected to the patterns of stories (hero's journey) Finally, there is really only one question that every story answers-'Who am I?' If we only have access to one story-we are limited in how we can think about ourselves and our world.

A single story is limiting,  It tells a story, just not the entire one

Rick, there's never just a single story.

It's about perspective and the understanding of where the other person is coming from.  Understanding perspective is the key,  I think.

A single story is a denial of the dialectical .  There is only a single viewpoint, that at once oppresses the other and one is the dominant

Single stories aren't bad (alone) but they keep us from understanding the truth.

Single stories can be dangerous when creators/justifiers of stereotypes.  BUT sometimes one story is all you have access to, especially as a child.

Donna Miller stated at the last UCIRA conference that a single story can damage a child's self-perceptions. If children only read stories about slavery or the Civil Rights Movement, they are not seeing the complete picture of a African-American or Black person. We are limiting both the way a child see's their self as well as how others see them.

Yes it can be.  Without a perspective outside of our own or the one presented to you, then your potential for creative thought and contribution is stunted.

My opinion is that everyone feels like they have experience based off of a single interaction however, knowledge is based on continued experiences. I see real danger in the conclusions we see world wide based off of these single stories.

# data[].attributes.body
A single story is a narrow perspective, perhaps the only acceptable knowledge. And it begs the question, who gets to write the story?

# data[].attributes.headline
Yes, it limits our beliefs about ourselves and about others. If I only tell the single story of how I struggled with math as 10th grade student, then that story limits my ability to teach math as a 6th grade teacher.

I think the single story can be very dangerous because you can only see one side but not other sides. P

I think dangerous is an interesting word choice.  I do believe that dangers can come from a single story mindset but I believe that ignorance is the biggest issue with single stories.  I justify this response by saying ignorance can be dangerous but isn't always.  Having single stories creates a myopic mindset making it difficult to accept change which can also be dangerous.

I believe it can pretty dangerous because I am white male. If a person's single story of white males was Donald Trump then I might think I am different...

Is a single story really dangerous? Justify your response. Response to 2 other people's posts.
