YouTube Video: "Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: The danger of a single story | TED".
Reflect on Adichie's "The Danger of the Single Story," and consider this quote from her closing remarks:
• Stories matter.
• Many stories matter.
Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize.
Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity. (17:36)
1) Share something from your own experience where you were guilty of buying into a "single story."
2) Share something from your own experience of how "many stories" changed what you thought you knew from a "single story."
3) How has this course changed the way you read books, watch movies, etc.?
