Danger of a Single Story
I loved this Ted Talk so much I actually ended up including it in an essay I wrote for my Anthropology class. I think this is so important because a one sided story leaves out so much information and perspectives that are valuable to the entire picture. There isn't a single story for everything. History, Experiences, Relationships, People. Everything is made of layers and layers of stories and limiting ourselves to a single story also limits our ability to gain knowledge and gain a valuable and wider view of life and our surroundings. You can't just focus on the tree when there's a forest around you.
