Chimamanda Adichie's speech on the "Single Story" resonated with me the most out of all the topics discussed. We all come from different aspects of life with a story to tell from every single one of them, but yet people bunch together certain types of people due to the usage of the single story. The usage of the single story is basically another way of stereotyping another person. They use one source of knowledge to form an entire view on one thing. Adichie admits in her speech that we're all guilty of making an assumption about a certain thing or person one time or another. The phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover" has been around for a very long time, but it's almost like human nature to judge someone solely based on their outward appearance before actually knowing what that person's life really is about. In my opinion, the whole "Single Story" mechanism is used as a way to understand something or someone without having to delve into it and actually try to get a firm grasp of what it truly is. It's not always negative but it still paints a label on said individual. The link below is a small project made by students which give a small example of what a single story is like. The project reflects on stereotyping but that's basically part of what the usage of the single story is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iZc8SuWML8
