What can readers do? Where can they go to learn more about the many stories that exist about this community? What can they do? What experiences can they have, etc.?

“The single story creates stereotypes,” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie says. “The problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.”

This is a quote from Adichie’s TED Talk, “The Dangers of a Single Story,” which we will watch in class. For your first essay assignment, I want you to examine a single story from your own life.

Think about the communities to which you belong. Is there a “single story” of your community? Your hometown? Your job? Your hobbies and interests? Your country? How did that “single story” come to be, and what is true and not true about it? Has the “single story” changed over time? We will do some brainstorming work to get to the heart of these questions before you start your draft.

In this essay, you will discuss a “single story” of your chosen community. You’ll want to explain how this form of stereotyping has affected both you and other members of this community, and how it’s shaped others’ understanding of your community. You will also want to deliver a clear scene that shows one moment in time where this “single story” has affected you. Perhaps your scene will be a moment in time when you understood the dangers that your “single story” presented. Discuss the ways, too, that this myth can be dispelled to let others understand the true complexities of your community. In class, we’ll discuss some structural ideas to help you bring these ideas to the page.

You will also need to use at least two quotes from Adichie’s TED Talk, formatted correctly in MLA style, to help connect your own experiences to the concepts she explains in her speech. Note: please do not use the quote on the top of this assignment! Find new and different quotes to use!

Essay #1: Danger of a Single Story Structure Notes
I don’t mean to constrain you with these structural suggestions, but you might try to follow these ideas as you build your own essay.
-Find a clever title for your essay, something that’s not “Single Story.”

Paragraph 1: Define what a single story is and why it can be harmful or dangerous.
Use your own voice—no need for Adichie’s quotes yet. Explain in your own words what a single story is and means to you.
Thesis statement: introduce the idea that you’ve had a single story experience in your own life.
Make the connection between yourself and the concept of a single story.

Paragraph 2: Introduce and define your community. (Nationality, religion, home town, job, hobbies, ethnicity, gender, family, interests, hobbies, etc. Or one of the more broad categories you might have examined in your discussion board work this week from the media, education, society, etc.) Give background. Explain the single story of this community as you see it. How has the single story changed over time, and why is it important to examine and challenge that single story now?

Paragraph 3: Tell your story. How did you become aware of this single story? What happened? Use a clear scene to show us this moment in time. OR the moment where you realized you were perpetuating the single story? Reflect on what this meant to you—how you felt, how you feel now, etc.

Scene: Action, movement, dialogue, description of characters and settings, weather/temperature, mood—like if you were watching a movie of this moment in time. Dramatizing. Use all five senses.
Reflection: What you lost, what you gained, what you learned about yourself or the world. The older, wiser you looking back on this moment in time and making sense of it for the reader.

Paragraphs 4-6ish Continue your scene and your story. Reflect on how this moment from your life exemplifies the idea of the single story.

Paragraph 7ish—Return to the TED Talk. How can this myth be dispelled about your community? Use her words to help here—2 quotes required from the TED Talk, and not the same ones from the assignment sheet. How can we see more multifaceted stories about this issue you’ve encountered? How did you learn that other stories and perspectives existed?

Paragraph 8ish: Call to action. What can readers do? Where can they go to learn more about the many stories that exist about this community? What can they do? What experiences can they have, etc.? Help them find more stories than just one.

CASE STUDY

As part of the Statistical Annex of the Human Development Report, there is Table 5, Gender Inequality Index. This table presents a composite measure of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment, and the labor market. Reproductive health is measured by two indicators: the maternal mortality ratio and the adolescent birth rate. Empowerment is measured by the share of parliamentary seats held by women and the shares of the population with at least some secondary education by gender. The labor market is measured by participation in the labor force by gender. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.

Assignment: is to find the values and the world ranks of GII for the United States and to compare them to the values and rankings of Austria and Haiti. Which factors do you think explain the differences between these countries in terms of the values and the rankings of their respective GII?
