The Power of Stories

12/27/2010story bias prejudice power single choice tell share broadcast gender race culture stereotype who evolvingTCN

  • 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.
