The danger of a single story<br> do you agree with Adichie? why?
AleksandrR [38]
The speech, Danger of a Single Story, was about how stereotypes, or single stories, can be the only definition of people. Adichie was an Nigerian woman that was stereotyped as “not being able to cook” and stuff.

I agree with Adichie because stereotypes are very common, even today. A single story becomes the only story, and people often want to have their own identity, not be judged based on looks or how they act.
