It is difficult to acquire a perspective of different cultures, and backgrounds of different countries and persons when one isn't properly educated of such. Therefore, with the influx of the stories and images broadcast to the public by the mass media, we find ourselves persuaded by the sometimes false, narrow and exaggerated information. 

This phenomenon could be observed across the Caribbean. Eurocentrism is the common denominator in the perceptions of Caribbean people. "Eurocentrism, like renaissance perspectives in painting, envisions the world from a single privileged point" (Shohat & Stam, 2008). Young Children are raised reading books of Cinderella and watch American and European television shows for entertainment. This is when the seed of the narrow Eurocentric views are sowed. However, these days many schools and educational facilities empower the use of regional books and articles in the classroom. This is so that students would absorb and appreciate the narrative of Caribbean history and culture. 

We human beings have the ability to learn and understand so therefore is up to us as a community to broaden our perspectives of the cultures and experiences of individuals. Ms. Adichie enable me as a young, black, Caribbean man to understand that one single story represents a narrow perspective of the life of an individual.
