Story Lab
Ted Talks
For this story lab assignment, I decided to watch the Ted Talks "The danger of a single story" and "Imaginary friends and real world consequences" to gain a little more insight on storytelling. Both videos provided me with realizations and perceptions that I hadn't noticed before when it came to storytelling just based on what is being told. It's one of the easiest ways to sway the mind of any human being based on the inspiration. Many people think that certain types of stories need to follow what they've been told about different cultures in order to be true or believable. There are many different translations or interpretations for the mind that require a more open outlook when it comes to cultural storytelling. When being told a story or reading one on your own, it can have such a strong effect on people where they build connections with all the members in the story. Everyone can be impressionable, regardless of age or gender or race. Writing a story has become a way to shift the mindset of a person want to believe in what they are following in a book over what’s actually happening around them in the real world.
