The Danger o f a S ing le
StoryReflections ( S o m e Q u o t e s )
“The single story creates stereotypes, and the
problem with stereotypes is not that they are
untrue, but that they are incomplete. They makeone story become the only story.”
– Chimamanda Adichie
“It is impossible to talk about the single story
without talking about power. There is a word, an
Igbo word, that I think about whenever I thinkabout the power structures of the world, and it
is “nkali.” It’s a noun that loosely translates to
“to be greater than another.” Like our economic
and political worlds, stories too are defined by
the principle of nkali: How they are told, who
tells them, when they’re told, how many storiesare told, are really dependent on power.”

The Social Construction ofReality:
1. Persons and groups interacting
together in a social system form
concepts of each other's actions
2. These concepts become habituated
into roles played by the persons and
groups in relation to each other
3. These roles become institutionalized
within social structures
4. In the process of this
institutionalization, meaning isembedded in society

“Violence or the threat of violence is a mechanism used from
childhood to establish that pecking order [i.e. men dominating
other men]. One result of this is that men “internalize” violence …”
