Week 7: “The Danger of a Single Story“ –Murray

In “The Danger of a Single Story”, I thought it was really interesting how Chimamanda Adichie talks about her life growing up in a multi-cultural environment, being raised by Nigerian parents but growing up in England. By having this multi-cultural experience, Adichi is able to have a wider perspective and knowledge on certain issues and is able to express that throughout her writing. In many ways, I think that applies to me. Because I also grew up in a multi-cultural environment having been raised by Chinese parents who immigrated to the USA. By having a multi-cultural environment, one will be able to truly understand the context of situations and have a better grasp of ideals rather than being misunderstood and will ultimately avoid confusion and miscommunication as well.
