4/17 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.

While this may be true about some parts of the city a good part of it is well managed. This portrayal shows the residents as violent and may make people think that they really are.
