A single story about a person or place is Dangerous

Letter A A single story about a person or place is dangerous because it is not representative of all people in a specific area or country I will use for instance Fedi whose family was poor Ted 2009 and was perceived by Adichie as not having the ability to do anything skillful because of this so this would make the single story dangerous and not show them in a favorable light Just because Fedi s family was poor does not mean they do not have any food or not have a place to live or is not considered people like she is The have likenesses but in different ways When we have a single story about a person or place and have no accounts of what those people lives are actually like it makes this dangerous because we do not precisely know or have the correct analogy about them and their lives Also having a single story is not the only story there is always a second story the real story which is these people have skills maybe different from her own a place to call home and though they are not from a family of educated people like her father mother and herself they are of knowledge in their own way
