The Danger of a Single Story

The video of Chimamanda Adichie on TED Talks was really touching for me. It makes us think about when someone tell us a story… we should think why THAT person is telling THAT especially storyhow is he/she telling. Mainly when that story is about some people. Because these people are more then when, so they are all different and so they can’t be represented by only one story.

It is so danger because if you tell the story about a people and many listen to you, you will make that people became what you said and this will go on trough the history. This gives origin to stereotypes that are not just lies but incompletes storys that can event take dignity of people.

We shoud let anyone speaks about themselfs and respect what they have to say without making judgements because everyone has a sotry!
