The single-story has a big impact on the entire planet. The danger of a single story, a single point of view Is that it can cause us to make wrong assumptions, conclusions, and choices, causing misunderstanding and making it impossible to see equal humanity in the characters of a single story. Operating in the context of a single story can limit us from seeing a situation in a more complex, and nuanced view of a situation.

I have judged people by their looks, clothes, tattoos, and hair and I think it’s not just me everyone in the world judge each other. “We have less control over who we are and what we believe.” Said Social Dilemma. In my experience Single story is one of the reasons why people have bias. Christopher Seneca a writer in New York mentioned in wired articles “Over time, algorithms turn slight preferences into a polarized environment in which only the loudest voices and most extreme opinions.”

How might we begin to reject the single story?
I believe that the best way for the world to reject a single story, people need to be more open-minded, educated, and to get to know others or try activities before assuming. As Adichie reminds us, “when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.” Thus, when our communities have greater access to historical resources, and more diverse stories are being brought into our collective history, we are rejecting the danger of a single story. Together we are bridging voices and building a stronger capacity to affect positive change in our communities. In the Wesch video, Wesch said something that I liked “Love is not something that just happens to you, it`s something you do, it`s a practice and you can get better at it.” Wesch said. From my understanding what he means by that is that you may not be interested at first but after you may love it.

In the new media class, we had to be partnered up with another student that we don`t know. I became a partner with Maki. I didn`t know her, we were in a group before, but we never talked. Before knowing her, I thought that she is a self-fish person who don`t talk to everybody.  We had a talk with Maki about our life. During the talk, I found that Maki is an open person who talks a lot LOL, but ya she does talk a lot and I figured out that I was wrong about her. After the talk, We knew a lot of things about each other life’s. there was something really interesting it was that the best gift that we have received was a dog. There are a few things that set me apart, one of which is that I truly hate hanging out with my cousins, sorry homies. Another thing that sets me out is that I have done multiple dangerous and interesting activities and have gotten into a lot of trouble. We only have one thing in common: both of us have visited New York City. It was a pleasure knowing her.
