Answer:

Negativity, western literature

Explanation:

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her TED talk on the danger of a single story, noted that the single story of Africa comes from western literature.  Adichie went on to quote a historic writing of a London merchant John Locke - who after sailing to West Africa, gave a fascinating account of black Africans as "beasts who have no houses," and "people without heads, having  their mouth and eyes in their breasts."

Adichie said John Locke's narrative marked the beginning of story telling that described Africa as place of darkness, negatives as well as a place where people - in the words of a poet Rudyard Kipling - are "half devil, half child."

In Jonas’s society, however, adherence to the sameness of the community is the highest priority, and so standing out at all is considered an embarrassment.

Sometimes heart sees what is invisible to the eye
Mrac [35]
This means that sometimes, you should trust your emotions rather than your brain. Sometimes, even if something seems logical in the first place, your heart may tell you that it is not right, or that it shouldn't be like that, and it may be the time to choose to follow your heart rather than your logic.
