Danger of a Single story

"The single story creates stereotypes…and the problem with stereotypes is

not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story

become the only story."

To Do:

1. Watch the video Danger of a Single Story by Chimamanda Adichie

2. Write a discussion post addressing the topic of the "single stories"

that exist today to include the following:

1. Briefly defining what is meant by the term"a single story."

2. Describe an example of a single story believed in the United

States—other the one in the video.

3. Considering what you have read in Chapter 1,

1. What is one possible way to address the problem of

people believing such single stories?

2. How can we help dispel those dangerous myths and

show the rich complexities in our world?
