Assignment Description and Instructions:
Chimamanda Adichie passionately and clearly teaches us the “danger of a single story” in her 2009 TED Talk. Adichie demonstrates the ways in which our society is a collection of social stories or narratives, the most pervasive and controlling of which are/were manufactured by people with social power (the power elite).
Single stories can include stereotypes, ideologies and, what sociologists call, cultural hegemony. Stereotypes are overly simplistic generalizations about a subgroup of peoples. Those that “stick” often are constructed by people with power and used to limit opportunities for the stereotypes’ subjects. Ideologies are sets of ideas that shape how people make sense of the world around them. Depending on the social power of those holding and employing these ideologies, they can have significant impact on social structures and the life chances of others. Cultural hegemony is a system beliefs, norms, and values, shaped by the ruling-class, that justifies the status-quo as natural or normal, and thus makes it invisible. These discourses shape what is knowable and sayable in any given context.
For your papers, you will select a societal single story that relates to the course material and analyze it. You will choose between examining a stereotype, an ideology, or a hegemonic narrative. Your task is to explore the story, its origins, its functions, and its impact on society. You will then examine the alternative stories or “counter narratives”: those whom are marginalized by the impact of single stories. Finally, you will propose ways to change the story both in your daily life and on a broader scale. You may also want to reflect on the ways in which stereotypes, ideologies, and hegemonic narratives are intertwined/not clearly separated.
Note: not all stereotypes and ideologies are examples of single stories. Those that are, systematically affect the life chances of marginalized people in society. The stereotype or ideology you select for this paper must also be an example of a single story, i.e., it must be a discussion of power.
Although the story you choose is up to you, there are specific requirements for your analysis. In using a sociological lens to analyze the story you should engage with both data and social theories when applicable. Use your sociological imagination!
