Prompt: Cities can also be an important part of a person’s cultural identity, shaping their values, experiences, and way of life. Think of a movie or TV show that changed the way you see a specific city. How was that city and its culture portrayed, and did it present a full picture or a “single story”? Explain how this portrayal could influence how people view those who live there.

 Prompt Response : A TV show that changed how I see a city was Friends, this show is set in New York City. It showed the city as fun and full of chances, but only one side of life there.


Summary : Friends made New York City look exciting, social, and full of success. It focused on people enjoying city life, but it did not show the many different cultures, neighborhoods, and struggles people there have.


Reflection : This can make people think everyone in New York lives the same kind of life.
