The Danger of a Single Story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg

Discussion Question Discuss the ways family background, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, age, socioeconomic status and other group and cultural influences contribute to the development of our perceptions

Now You-In Your Journal What is YOUR single story? How does the problem of the single story impair student writing? How do/could/should we teach against the danger of the single story?

Why does it matter? “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.” – Chimamanda Adichie “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.” – Chimamanda Adichie “It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power. There is a word, an Igbo word, that I think about whenever I think about the power structures of the world, and it is “nkali.” It’s a noun that loosely translates to “to be greater than another.” Like our economic and political worlds, stories too are defined by the principle of nkali: How they are told, who tells them, when they’re told, how many stories are told, are really dependent on power.” – Chimamanda Adichie
