Blog #3 A Single Story [a little late]

That women was smart, she saw what was going on around her and wanted to do something about it. We as teenagers are in such a rush all the time with schoolwork and social lives and work, that we don't notice things as much. When a judgement or a racsist comment flow so freely from the mouth, its hard to stop and see what were doing. I was really inspired by this video because she was right, the single story is dangerous, if humans continue to move about their daily lives thinking and believing such crude and ridiculous things like
"Americans are obese, gas guzzling, patriotic show-offs.", nothing good will come of it. This kind of thing happens at school all the time, kids jump to conclusions and believe every little rumor. We can help stop this by opening up our minds to the broad spectrum and not jump into believing everything so quickly.
