The Power of Stories
- Who gets to tell the story?
- Who gets to broadcast the story?
- Who gets to underline emphases in any fact, fiction or moral of the story?
- Who gets to associate the characters with quick sketches of stereotype?
- Who gets to name the fictional protagonist and antagonist?
- Who are the real protagonist and antagonist?
- Who gets to imply good or evil surrounding the language of light and dark?
- Who gets to impose the choices, or lack thereof?
- Who gets to embed cultural, generational and other biases, whether unexamined or intentional, in the story?
Be your stories, the many and the evolving.
