Power also has the ability to prevent stereotypes in the minds of people.
Personally observing the culture of a people can prevent single stories.
Explanation:
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie had several instances where she had a single story. As a child, she experienced hardships while growing but she refused to accept that as her single-story because she knew that she grew up under a loving family. This enabled her to have a balance.
Experiencing the culture of a people firsthand just as she experienced the culture of the Mexicans firsthand enabled her to overcome the stereotypes she had about them. A powerful society is also less likely to be susceptible to a single story. This is seen in her views of the American government which was not lopsided.
