1. How might we avoid stereotyping others in the future?

2. In what way do single stories affect our own identities, how we view others, and the choices we make?

Answer 1

1. Stereotyping may be one of the hardest challenges we have in todays society. It would genuinely be hard to stop all stereotyping, as it is up to each individual person to change their mindset. World wide we need to educate out children and future generations. This would stop them from growing up with these set mindsets of different stereotypes of different people.

2. Stories do affect our identities quite more than we think they might. We are taught from a young age to apply yourself and make connections with the story you are reading. This really does alter how we perceive stories for the rest of our lives. When you make connections with a book, movie, or short film, it could very much alter how you choose to make decisions in your life.
