Story Laboratory

Story Lab: Stories and Friends  is what I choose to do my Story lab in this week.

The first ted talk just touched my heart. I really understand where Chimamanda comes from. Everyone has stereotypes about countries they have never been to and about the people. Everyone has assumption made from just ’single story’ that people hear. I understand both side of the story, I get Chimanada’s side of how people thing of her country and that is the same thing that I also hear about India. I understand that if you have not been somewhere you just have your image of how it might be, everyone does. A ‘single story’ is the best title that this Ted talk can have. Depending how you start a story can really change up everything. I really enjoyed this video.
The second video was also very interesting, she stated all the things that we all know but we still do it. Such as talking to the tv even thought the tv doesn’t listen to you. Another thing that I liked that she talked about is us thinking new really know people from TV but they are not real. We still invest a lot of time into them. How we also get attached to fictional characters over people who we don’t really know. I think the experiment was really good to show how people are more effected by fictional character dying and how they would feel if a real person died. The results showed that people are more effected depending on how close they feel to the person even if they may not be real. I like how she compared a lot of things which made it easier to understand what she was talking about and really feel for things. I really opened my eyes on how people really like and even me in certain things. The make believe people really take over our attention more than it should. Overall, I am glad I chose to watch these TED, really eye opening and changed my thoughts in somethings.
