Stories matter, they
can be used to empower and humanized and repair broken dignities.
- “Show people as only and one thing over and over again and that is what they will become.” I live in pretty similar conditions as Mexicans do. Yet, I sometimes ignore that fact and imply they are as the rest of the world picture them.
- “Stereotypes are not untrue but they are incomplete.” We as Colombia suffer the same single story idea.
- “America has no single story.” Therefore it is not judged that commonly
- “People tend to insist on only negative stories that form them” As Chimamanda Adichie said, writers insist you need to have a tragic life to be a good writer, but it is good to share both sides of the story.
- “Single stories rob people from their identity.” They believe their country is that way and stop caring which is the real reality
- “It emphasizes on how we are different and not on how we are similar” If the world as one would try to link each other through similar aspects, instead of overwhelming themselves with differences that separate them, we would all coexist.
When there is no story
about a single place we regain a kind of paradise.
