Watch the video Danger of a Single Story by Chimamanda Adichie, and then write a discussion post addressing the topic of the “single stories” that exist today.

Start by briefly defining what is meant by the term “a single story.”

Next, describe an example of a single story believed in the United States—other the one in the video.

Finally, considering what you have read in Chapter 1, what is one possible way to address the problem of people believing such single stories?  Look to address the ways we can work to dispel dangerous myths and show the rich complexities in our world.
