do you agree or not? explain

Explanation / Answer

Yes, I agree with the statement that a single story affects people's sense of self which leads to misinterpretation and have biased view about others. It develops a close ended mindset beyond which a person cannot think of others. His own single story makes him ignorant of others and other situations. He stated thinking that whatever he has been experienced or exposed to, that is only true. When we are being exposed to one single story, we will start thinking about one particular individual or incident leaving behind others.
