A “single story” gives people only one way to view a group of people, and this view point is usually negative.
An example Ms. Adichie gave is her college roommate assuming Ms. Adichie wasn't capable of doing basic things because she is African.

You can have a closeminded view of someone if you only hear a single story. For example she only knew the story of fidde being poor, so she was surprised when she found out he could make stuff.

I think the danger of a single story is it can leave people misinformed and can continue stereotypes and generalizations. An example of this is when Ms. Adichie's professor thought her story was not "authentically African" because the characters in her story were too much like him. Another example is when Ms. Adichie's roommate thought she listened to only tribal music and was shocked that Ms. Adichie spoke english so well.

It can lead us to default assumptions, conclusions and decisions that may be incomplete, and may lead to misunderstanding. Operating from the context of a single story can prevent us from a more complex, nuanced view of a situation. An exapmle of what she is saying is people not likeing something or somebody based off one side of the story.

Kathryn G. - The danger in it is not only listening to the single story and being ignorant, but also retelling these stories without end and spreading it more, without doing further research if the story is actually true. As Ms. Adichie had stated, the western version of africa has affected many, up to the point that if there even is an authentic story of africa, it just will never really be accepted as an actual " authentic " african story. It also blinds people of any possible sides of the story, creating so many stereotypes which then makes everything so awkward when they finally learn the real sides of things.

Ms. Adichie gave us the example of her room mate only having a single story. She explained that she was confused at first but then understood why her room mate thought that. Her room mate only had only single story of where Ms. Adichie was from. The effect of that single story was that her room mate had already misjudged Ms. Adichie and already had an image set for her without even knowing a single thing abt Ms. Adichie other than where she was from.

Many people only hear a single story about Hispanics. People with ignorant thoughts, would consider every Mexican/Hispanics as just immigrants trying to be sneaky and cross the border illegally. Ms.Adichie even admitted that she thought Mexico wasn't going to be what she expected but once she went to visit, she realized that they are just normal people like everyone else. The danger of it, is that people are quick to assume and people begin to make arguments and make other people look bad through medias.

I agree with what Ms. Adichie said. Many people form stereotypes and don't get to see the bigger picture, only one side. For example thinking a group of people is only a certain way. Those judgements can lead to having racist beliefs and having a certain perception on a group of people. For example when she made that assumption about mexicans.

Mrs. Adiche shared that her roommate looked at her differently because she was from Africa, she also mentioned that she looked at Mexican people as immigrants but only because that's what everyone else thought of them. That's the danger of a single story people might come off as a bad person just because they are uneducated on a certain culture or group of people.

The danger of a single story is that it stereotypes a place or person without mentioning the other positives or negatives about that place or person.  Ms. Adichie says that before she went to Mexico she had a "single story" of Mexico that it was full of cartel members and people trying to cross the U.S border for a better life. When she went to Mexico she found out that the people there were laughing with each other, having a good time, and going to work like we do in the U.S. Another example comes from when she went to visit her "house boy" Fide. She only heard that he was poor so that was all she say of him. When she went to his families house she saw that they had a beautiful basket made by Fide's brother. Everyone in Fide's family was hard working and nothing like she originally thought because of the "Single story"

The danger of a single story is that it generalizes something into a whole category based off of one thing that was heard and it excludes many other factors of that something. An example would be how Africa is spoken about in school. It leaves out the better parts of Africa and makes students focus solely on the unfortunate parts there.

The danger of single stories is stereotypes and judgement. Many hear single storys causing them to imagine a group of people different. An example Ms. Adichie said was when she visited Mexico that she imagined them differently than the news she heard of them.

People would hear either a small truth or just a one little thing and it would out of no where become the only thing you hear about from the place or person until you see it for yourself and see that its not completely true

Some who had racial bias based off of single stories they may have grown up around could be very dangerous to people of color. Some people have more aggressive tendencies than others. which could lead said people to act off their aggression in turn hurt P.O.C

The danger of a single story is how harmful it can really be to someone. It can lead to hostility and even violence in serve cases. An example that Ms. Adichie gives us of a single story is how she saw her house keepers son. She saw them as only poor because that is all she ever heard about them instead of hearing something else about him and his family.

I think the danger is the misinformation. Not being educated on certain topics can cause conflict. Ms. Adichie's professor said her sotry wasn't authentically African. He was not educated well on this topic and was most likely exposed to much misinformation.

I think a single story is basically a stereotype. It's something that has just one point of view and a lot of people have opinions based off that single story.

You can have a close-minded view of someone if you only hear a single story. For example, Ms. Adichie only knew the story of fide being poor, so she was surprised when she found out he could make stuff.

I think that the danger of the single story is that it restricts you from opening your views to other's perspectives. Once you've read the single story and don't commit to reading more stories, you're stuck with only one perspective and you would believe that the single story is the only story.

# data[].attributes.body
What I think is a danger of a single story is you are basically judging someone or a group people before you even know them. For example, people think that one side of town is bad and the people that live on that side of the town is a certain way. Now you are treating them a certain way and associating those bad stories you have heard about where they live with them.

An example of a single story is people not liking a group because they only hear one side of their story.

I really enjoyed the Ted Talk from Ms.Adichie because she made some great points about how we shouldn't believe in the single story and I agree 100% because it's the same thing as being stereotyped

I think the danger of a single story is judgment. Many people hear terrible things about Africa such as how many kids are starving every day and their are many diseases spreading. I didn't know Africa had so many beautiful areas and gigantic houses, better than the ones here in America, because I had only heard a single story.

Mrs. Adichie's roommate thought so many negative things about Africans. That they could not cook because they were poor so she assumed that Mrs. Adichie could not use a stove. That she had a pitty party for her and assumed that Africa gave her a terrible childhood.

Something I see said about a lot of people who are like me and are on the Autism Spectrum is that we tend to be seen as dumb or lesser than because we don't understand things like most people do. People make fun of it because it's different and this can lead to kids with autism being bullied into suicide. The suicide rate is higher among Autistic people than of neurotypical people.
