Problem
The Ted Talk, The Danger of Single Story, discusses these very issues. The narratives offered to us are often weaved by authors in which they benefit. But this isn't necessarily true of audiences. Is there any harm to hearing one continuous story about any group? Yes or no? Explain your answer. Ms. Adichie comments on "Africa" while on a flight; what is her comment? Describe the differences between African countries and the African continent; discuss the tendencies to label them similarly? Explain the harm in this notion. What comment does Ms. Adichie make about the book American Psycho? Ultimately, Ms. Adichie encourages audiences to participate in their own narratives, to be authors of their own stories. How do you accomplish this task? What is the importance of your own story? How does it contribute to the existing story of people like you? How is it different? Explain your answer.
