As Chmamanda Nigozi Adichie explains in her Ted Talk,
The Danger of a Single Story, “That is how to create a single story. Show a people as one thing, as only one thing, over and over again, and that is what they become.” She goes on to say that, “It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power...How they are told, who tells them, when they are told, how many stories are told, is really dependent on power. Power is the ability to not just tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person."
