What have you discovered about perception and perception checking?

Once you have read sections 3.1 Perceiving and Presenting the Self and 3.2 Improving Self-perception and the Perception of Others, you'll be ready to view the video "The Dangers of a Single Story".

Adichie, C. N. (2009). The danger of a single story | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie [Youtube video]. In YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg

Pay close attention to the following while you watch the video:

1. What does a "single story" mean to you?
2. How does living in a "single story" world impact your perception of others here at school or in your professional (work) life?
3. Describe (using your own words) the 4 techniques the text says will help you eliminate the mindset of a "single story" and improve your perception of others in your professional life or in college.

As you develop your written responses to each of these questions, remember to incorporate your personal perspective with what you have discovered in both the reading and the video.

Spend time on this. Remember, reflective writing gives you the opportunity to think deeply about your learning. You'll want to refer back to portions of the text which have influenced you most, but remember you are not simply restating what the text or video has said. You want to dig deeper.... to wonder.... and to reflect on what you have realized.... what you have "figured out" so far.

This is your opportunity to connect and share your insights. Focus on providing substance and specifics through a minimum of fifteen to twenty sentences for this assignment.
