While diving in the language of literature and getting to understand it is the power source to how to construct and deconstruct identities. In how simple it is to manipulate something as big as language literature to have an impact on people's misinformation and misunderstanding. In the work of Miners, Ngozi's Tedtalk and Wainana led me to Cognative engaging on how big of an influence language is in misrepresention.

In the writing of Miners about the Nacirema, a simple example on how easy it is to misinterpret or even misrepresent by bringing front familiar activities in a foreign and odd manner by using others. In Wainana in "How to write about Africa", how humorous, clichéd, stereotypical and exoticed manner people write about Africa causing people cultural and individual reduction of the diversity of cultures into one dimple single narrative. Ngozi's Tedtalk exploring storytelling and how it shapes everyone's perspective of the world/ their own side of the known story instead of understand and getting to see the bigger picture base one has the power of the pen to reinforce half truths as the whole picture. All that is one person's view.

Considering all these perspectives. I was to lead to my own assumption and stigmatization.The books and people I grew around lead me have of some of my own stereotypes and stigmatization both positive and negative, which contributed to my own "otherness"  prolonging the issue raised of continuous misinformation and disortation.

The use of language is in need of evaluation. My own assumptions challenge me in understanding Bart William's concept in "Changing the channel", encouraging me to embrace and addressing of shifting in perspectives and assumptions of stereotype and stregmatization, and embracing diversity of cultures.
