Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to allow students to examine how bias and stereotypes influence our perception of others and reflect on how to become more aware of those biases. It is through awareness that we can make a change and become more interculturally flexible.
Tasks
Step 1: Watch and take notes on the TedTalk, Danger of a Single Story
( https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_ngozi_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story ), by author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Step 2 : In a 200-300 word post, share an example from your own experience where you were judged by a single story. Next, share an example from your experience where you judged someone else using a single story. Finally, share two suggestions on how we can become more aware of our biases and single-story judgments in order to change them.
