The Danger of a Single Story

After watching Chimamanda Adichie's TED Talk, can you think of a single story that has existed in your life (either culturally, personally, etc.) that you feel excludes you? Can you think of a single story or stories that you tend to think of as "normal," that you realize actually excludes certain people or groups?  How do these single stories affect and shape your thinking? How do you feel about that?

(Think of the examples that Adichie gives in her speech to help you come up with examples of your own.)
