The danger of a single story

The speaker read a lot of British and American children's books in her childhood, and a single book to her impression of Americans are blonde white skin, eating apples, talking about the weather, drinking soda. However, when she went to college in the United States, because it was misleading information of Africans monotonously, and her roommate assumed that Adichie was living in dire straits. Finally she realized the danger of a single story, and she balanced the story to see, rather than into a single story trap. When I was in China, I would see "frequent" shooting in the United States on the Internet, so I think the United States was not very safe. However, when I was in the United States, the number of such shooting cases occurred very little, and we can get guns certificate to protect ourselves. I think the world is still peaceful. Prejudice is a common human weakness, and people hear some one-sided information on the subjective that they understand a country or a crowd. In fact, although they hear the story happened, is true, those stories are not complete, which cannot represent a complete impression. Therefore, we should be skeptical about what the people say. When I saw the author was african, my first thought was that Africa was poor. In fact, I had no evidence to prove that only from the book or television to see the people of Africa are not enough to eat. If I look at Africa from multiple perspectives, Africa also is a good country. As the author said in the video, she had a grandfather died in the concentration camp, a cousin died of poor medical conditions, and so on, but she had a happy childhood. Her childhood is beautiful. We can understand other peoples' single stories from multiple perspectives. For example, you can see the local novels to thoroughly understand the situation of a country, and do not use a separate example to determine the quality of this matter. Adichie thinks that the problems of these partial ideas are not that they are not true, but that they are not complete. They turned a story into a single story. She said, to understand a region, we must understand all the stories of the region. She did it. “That when we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.”
