How do single stories present a problem for our ways of thinking? Think about the way society uses representations of people and how individuals bring their own bias to their assessment of representation. (please dont plagiarize)

The risk of the single story, the one perspective, is that it can lead us to default assumptions, conclusions and decisions that may be incomplete, and may lead to misunderstanding. Operating from the context of a single story can prevent us from a more complex, nuanced view of a situation.
