YouTube – The danger of a single story/ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (TED 19:16)
Respond in separate paragraphs for each question:

1. Write examples of the single stories Adichie points out about African Americans. Include at least 2 quotes.
2. What single stories did Adichie hold for other groups?
3. Research and explain in your own words: What is the Dunning Kruger effect, and how does it reinforce
   racism?
4. What single stories are told about your culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or class? How
   have they affected you either positively or negatively? (you don’t have to address all of these, just whatever
   jumps out at you)
5. How does Adichie define power?
6. Provide a reflection and analysis of what you have learned from this assignment. How does it apply to our
   current state of affairs (protests, riots, etc)?
