BEHS 220 Discussion 1: Single Story

Review the TED Talk Chimamanda Adichie: The Danger of a Single Story, then, using at least two of the required readings from this week, answer the following questions:
What stories did you grow up with? These could be from books, TV shows, movies, or another source.How did these stories influence your perceptions of yourself and of the world?
Did you identify with the background of the main characters or were they from a different background than you? How did this affect you?

As an adult, what stories do you identify with?How are these stories similar to and different from the ones you grew up with? How might this relate to your exposure to and understanding of diversity?
Are there certain areas of the world or certain people about whom you only have a single story? (Think long and hard before saying that you don’t have a single story about anyone. How likely is this to be the case?)
What role does diversity play in your workplace, social life, and/or education?
