Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

  Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian Writer. Apart from this she is a excellent speaker.  Here is her three inspirational and knowledgeable videos.

1) The Danger of a single story:

In this video she talks about danger side of single story. How it would be harmful to anyone. In this video she is talking about the effect of reading. She talks about that her reading effects on her writing. She reads foreign literature which is different from her country, Like weather , people, culture. This . literature effects so much on her mind that she thinks that literature by them should have Foreign in Nature. Later on she discovered African books. It changes her perception of literature. She realised that  in literature people like her also exist.
  There are some political agenda behind single story. The purpose of single story is to tell one thing again and again so from that people belive on that and consider it as a truth. In the literature western people also create single story from which they consider themselves as a superior and powerful people. By defining black people as uncultured and weak who can't raise there voice and waiting to be saved by foreign people. By this they showing themselves as a cultured and civilised people. So in the stories there are few important things who told them and how many times told that. Power is also plays important role in this single stories.


2) We should all be feminist:

Feminism is doesn't mean to going against man or insulting male. It simply means to fight for existing of female and give them equal importance. In her video she talks about different Upbringing of boys and girls. People teach their girls to  compromise by giving up their job and desire. Think herself smaller than man. Give more importance to marriage not herself. We should teach boys that it's nothing wrong to be afraid and cry. All these are emotions. We should give equal importance to both of them. We should  give importance to  focus  on ability rather than gender and focus on interest instead of gender.


3)   Talk on importance of truth in post truth Era :

In this she talks about the importance of truth in people lives. In this Era of post truth it consider as courageous act to speak truth. Specially in politics. People should speak truth for humanity. But in this Era of post truth people give  themselves more important than humanity. Never silence your self out of fear that the truth you speak might provoke. people lies to save him or her self from any trouble but one should accept the fact that life is not all about happiness it full of mess. People should learn to face things in there life.
