Chimamanda Adichie

What does it mean to have a single story? It means that when somebody meets one person from a place that they've never been and they automatically assume that everybody else from that place is like that. It means not to judge a region just because you meet one person and automatically assume that the rest of the region is like that one person. Judge people separately instead of assuming just because you have only heard one story of that place or meet one person from there. Everybody is different and there is never a single story.

  When I hear people talking about Iaeger when I am away from home, they speak of people who smoke marijuana and people who have bad drug addictions. Because I live in Iaeger, I am sometimes offended by this statement but then I understand why they said it. I do know that there are people here that smoke Marijuana and who have bad drug addictions, and I know that there is more than one person who has these problems. Because People always talk about people having these problems than people think that we only have a single story, even though I know there are some people who grow up and get an education instead of getting bad addictions to drugs.

  Growing up I always heard people talking about Paris, Expensive clothes and elegant food, People who glide across the floor out of habit. I was never told about how there are people there who sometimes have to go home to a empty house and sleep on the floor or about people who beg for money on the side of the road. I had only been told a single story of Paris. I obviously know now that I'm older; I understand that not everybody can buy elegant food or wear fancy, expensive clothes. This was a single story of Paris that I was always told.

  A game could educate people about places that often have a single story. They could the game character in a 'single story' Environment. And let the player see how people there might have cars or how possibly they live on the road and maybe how diverse everybody is and make the player see and understand that there is never a single story, and it's not too good to assume.
