Quote from TED talk
"So that is how to create a single story, show a people as one thing, as only one thing, over and over again, and that is what they become." - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

She explains that no one story can fully capture the true essence of a person, a culture or history and emphasizes the need for the power holders in society to share subjugated perspectives to allow a greater understanding and appreciation of the history and values of these cultures in other societies.]]> 2017-11-23 22:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209800528 Adichie's talk pointed out the huge impact that power holders have on the promotion and dissemination of stories totallytamera https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209801290 2017-11-23 22:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209801290 totallytamera https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209807599 2017-11-24 00:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209807599 totallytamera https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209807737 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."]]> 2017-11-24 00:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209807737 totallytamera https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209807929 This can be compared to the teachings of Paul Michel Foucalt a french philosopher who believed that ideas were not inherently right or wrong but power groups are responsible for promoting ideas as being “right” or “wrong”. Powerful people have the ability to influence the perspectives of people in society which can influence their conduct.This conduct is perceived by others and can become normalized and embedded in cultural norms which reproduces the new discourse of power and knowledge. ]]> 2017-11-24 00:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209807929 totallytamera https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209808829 Paul Michel Foucault]]> 2017-11-24 00:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/totallytamera/rnuhz8c6o3rs/wish/209808829
