Assignment:
As you watch this video, consider the single stories that you have believed, and reflect on the role of media in reinforcing these single stories, and in helping you unlearn them.
Watch this video, Your original post should address the following questions:
1. What "single story" did you once believe (about anything!), and what kinds of things have you learned that have made you realize that a single story does not represent that phenomenon, issue, or group? (HINT: If you are struggling to think of something, seek out some media about a group of people you don't know much about, watch it, and come back to this post)
2. What has the role of media been in teaching or reinforcing that single story, and/or in expanding that "story" so that you now understand multiple stories?
3. What role has your own agency in media use played in it? (i.e. how has your interpretation of media and your media choices affected your understanding of the story you're discussing).
4. How do you think social structure may have restricted and shaped your own agency in media use surrounding this story?
