Africa ‘single story’

Do you hold a single story on Africa? I do. I often think that Africa is just a place with lack of water, poverty, and kids starving. That’s just one story. There are many other stories but no one hears them.

What stories might you be missing? Some people in Africa are very rich. this is a picture of a car in South Africa. That is a Nissan GTR. Those cost $100,000!!!                                                  Bernard Anthony Harris was an African who worked at NASA and got to do a spacewalk. There are a lot of other important people from Africa who changed how we live.

What is the danger of a single story? If we only listen to one side of the story we get a biased opinion on a place or group of people. If you listen to the media you then think that Mexicans are big immigrants who smuggle drugs, But that’s not true for the entire nation. So make sure you listen what to both sides.
