SOC 304 Week 6 Discussion 1 | Assignment Help | Wilmington University 

Week 6 Discussion Board

After watching the video below, share your thoughts on the concept of “a single story.” Why is it dangerous? And for whom? Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie presents examples from fiction and anecdotes from her own life. Did any of these examples resonate with you? Think about how your perception of people in places you have never visited have been formed based on what you've read or seen in movies and on TV. Have you read books by authors from Nigeria or any other African country? What about from any other country discussed this week? Or from marginalized groups in America?

Your initial post should relate Adichie’s presentation to content from this course. Consider, also, if/how this class has encouraged you to look beyond single stories to understand the diversity of life experiences of people from various ascribed groups.
