What I think is important about the ted talk the danger of the single story is that a single story can create so many misconceptions and so many problems because people take what they learned from one place to face value and never look more into it because they assume the first thing there told has to be the truth and everything else must say the same thing or else they would have looked for more then one source. Having only one source can become dangers because it can even cause people to become racist or people would assume that if a place has poor areas like Africa then people would assume the whole of Africa is poor and dangerous and uncivilized.
About
ENG 1101 is about you getting more comfortable with your own process. You’ll look at tools and ideas about how language is used to communicate and persuade and even exclude. And you’ll be introduced to concepts like transfer, genre, and metacognition.
ANDΒ as part of the Write Out Loud! Learning Community, you’ll also be writing your own TEDTalk that you’ll present in COMM1330
