Alan Black, 
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichine explain and writes about the danger of a single truth. We tend to generalize and repeat the mistake when we know only a version of the truth. 

Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding. The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. She tells it with very good humor and we appreciate her English.
