From this Ted Talk, the biggest thing I took away was that a
single story entails the creation of stereotypes. The reason we tend to believe
certain things about particular individuals or groups of people is because we
have only ever been presented a single story of those people. In other words,
we have only been presented one perspective on how that group or individual is
portrayed. In order for us to be able to eliminate these stereotypes we must
see past the single story and learn to see things in three dimensions rather
than as a single flat surface. Once we look past these single surface we are
able to see people for who they are and not what society has portrayed them to
be.
