The Danger of A Single Story



In this TED Talk, author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie examines the “tendency to interpret the dominant story of a culture as its only story and how this can lead to harmful overgeneralizations and misunderstandings.”
While we join in Journey2 of Out of Eden Learn let’s keep in mind the following:

  • Medial portrayals of a culture
  • Dominant narratives of a culture
  • Stereotyping of a culture

Update on article - An Inuit Community's David - and - Goliath Battle With Big Oil

"We thought no one would care": Clyde River Inuit flooded with support



Original article from Toronto Star

A couple of questions to ponder -
1. Approximately when will the Canadian public be likely to hear from The Supreme Court of Canada about their decision?
2. What do you think of David Suzuki's and Faisal Moola's request:

"Let's stand with Inuit and stop seismic blasting in the Canadian Arctic."?

3. As a "steward of the earth" what do you see your role as, in Clyde River's plight?
"Let's stand with Inuit and stop seismic blasting in the Canadian Arctic."?
