Evaluate Single Stories and Fictional Stories
Think about the two assigned TEDTalks and answer each of the following questions:
- How is your culture represented? If you were born outside of the U.S., what is the “single story” that is told about your culture? If you were born in the U.S., what is the “single story” that is told about your culture? What stereotypes are evident? What is missing from the story?
- What fictional stories are told, according to Dr. Harari? Give one specific example. How does the make us human?
- What is your opinion on one or both of the TEDTalks?
