Reflect on a time when you discovered a new perspective that completely changed how you viewed a person, group, or place. How did your previous “single story” shape your thoughts or actions?
Response: I learned that Russians were actually not all very strong and buff because of the many images and videos I saw (which were clearly photoshopped at the time or edited too) through seeing actual touring into Russia by people who actually wanted to research Russia and its people.
Summary: The previous single story shaped my mind into thinking this simple stereotype was simply a thing all Russians had, but through other realistic videos, Russians can also be skinny and funny looking, not just through the real life tour videos I’ve seen on Russia.
Reflection: This was when I was super young, so this makes for me to be affected but it doesn’t mean I should’ve sticked to this idea, I was able to learn and move on from this bettering my view for good.
