The Ethics Of Single Storying
Single storying is when someone puts one thing they know about you or they think they know about you has your entire persona. When people do this they are looking at you with a limited viewpoint. Single storying someone is hurtful because it is putting someone in a box based on limited information. Although single storying someone is unethical it is easy to accidentally do it without thinking. Most people in their life have been single storied and have single storied someone at some time, probably without even realizing it.
I am single storied all the time because I have attention deficit hyperactive disorder or otherwise know has ADHD. ADHD makes me more inattentive and hyperactive. Most of the time people think kids with ADHD are stupid

    In “The Danger of a Single Story,” Adichie talks about stereotypes, or single stories. Adichie explains social class and stereotypes. Adichie explains social class by telling the story of Fide, her family’s houseboy. Fide and his family were very poor compared to Adichie’s middle class family, and Adichie also explained that her mother would use Fide as a reference to poor people, for example, when Adichie would not finish her food, her mother would say, “don’t you know people like Fide’s family have nothing.” So Adichie talks about how even in places like Nigeria, there is social class and that not everyone is poor like most people think.

We as humans, all love a good story; whether we are watching a movie, listening to our favorite song, reading a novel or having someone tell us a story, there is always a sense of enjoyment. Stories are all around us and we can trace stories and the act of storytelling back to our early ancestors. "All the individuals of the same species, and the species of the same genus, or even higher, are descended from common parents;" stated by Charles Darwin in Origin of Species, his take on stories was take even though the story may change as humans evolve, they all start with an origin.

    ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is not something to laugh about. It is a serious problem that a lot of people now face. It is actually a really difficult thing to deal with. I personally have dealt with having ADHD since I was in the 3rd Grade. ADHD is as serious as any other disorder, such as Autism. Living with ADHD is being nowhere near normal. A lot of people don't understand how serious this condition really is. It is something that can't be seen. Symptoms of ADHD are usually inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Some of the things that kids with ADHD must deal with on a daily basis are needing special accomodation in school, getting used to taking medication, and socializing.…

The three consequences you should think about you robbing people of their dignity, making recognition of equal humanity difficult & emphasizing how we are different rather than how we are similar. “The Danger of Single Story” by Chimamanda Adichie, gives many examples of people creating and telling a single story even herself. This teaches us that we should know the full story about someone or something, before allowing that single story to be our…

I don't think that this a good idea to view people as single stories because that gives you an idea of what you think they are, before you even meet them.…

What they don’t realize is how much neglect goes on to the people they care most about. Residents are at risk of being abused by their caretakers but they are also at risk of being restrained, which may lead to a form of abuse. At Southwestern Nursing Home I have witnessed forms of neglect and abuse. Nursing homes are meant to be a place for security for the elderly to be cared for in their golden years, and it has become an unpleasant experience for senior citizens being subjected to acts of abuse and neglect.…
