This document discusses the power of stories and narratives to shape our understanding of the world. It begins with a prompt asking why humans are often referred to as "storytelling animals" and what role storytelling plays in our lives. It then shares several videos and texts exploring how stories can represent different perspectives, challenge dominant narratives, give voice to the marginalized, and shape our minds and societal discourses. Discussion questions provided with each resource encourage critical analysis of the relationship between stories and issues of power, representation, and identity.
