Single Story

1) What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
A single story is what people think of a certain area.
2) Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?
One story is that we all are a bunch of single tooth hillbillies. The fact is that we are not like that. We are just like any other city our size in the United States. 
3)Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?
Well, a single story that I have heard is that the kids at South Charleston High School are all poor druggies. I heard of this during the hype before the big GW vs. SC game earlier this year. To learn the truth, I could just ask a friend that goes there and see what he thinks. 
4) How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
A game can let people see that one community isn't what the single story is about.
