Hello readers,
Warmly welcome to my blog. Here I have put it my perspective and viewpoints about Chimamanda ngozi Adichie's videos on different kind of subjects at Ted Tolk.
Chimamanda ngozi Adichie, who is writer and range of novel, non-fiction, short stories she has written. Her father James Nwoye Adichie was the professor of statistic at University of Nigeria. Her mother Grace Ifeoman was the university's first female registrar. The family lost almost everything during the Nigerian civil war.
After completed her study of medicine and pharmacy, she want to United State to study communication and political. There she know about the colour discrimination.
when she show not used to being identified by the colour of skin that changed. when she arrived in the US for study is as a black African in America Adichie was suddenly confronted with what is meant to be a person of colour in the state.
Whereas she had started writing literary works and then get the inspiration from the African writer chinua Achebe. After reading his work Things fall Apart.
■ "My Mother the Crazy African" her short story:- 1
Adichie write short story "My mother the crazy African" in she discussed the problems that arise when facing to culture complete opposite from the each other and one side there is a traditional Nigerian culture with clear and gender roles, while in Africa there is more freedom in how gender act less restrictions on younger people. In a 2014 interview, Adichie said on feminism and writing:
"I think of myself as a storyteller but I would not mind at all if someone were to think of me as a feminist writer... I'm very feminist in the way I look at the world, and that world view must somehow be part of my work."
■ The Danger of a single story:-
I appreciate from this video because chimamanda Ngozi Adichie explains how she uses in and around different smaller stories to share the core massage itself, Although, combining her personal experience as a Nigerian in America as well as her Nigerian experience with own limitations. When she talks about her personal experience.
which she had feel in different phenomenon that connects audience to feel like, she is close to them and opens up herself for Criticism. 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.
Culture does not make people. People make culture.
when we reject the single story, when we realized that there is nepver a single story about any place, place regain a kind of Paradise.
■ We Should All be Feminist:-
Yes, l like the views of chimamanda ngozi Adichie, what we expect and what we are getting from the society. There is a problems of gender yet people who try to lead them to what they expect from women. Woman always suffered a lot from the earlier centuries. Then like some words of chimamanda ngozi Adichie as given below
"Some people ask: 'Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?' Because that would be ... a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women."
"My own definition is a feminist is a man or a woman who says, yes, there’s a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it, we must do better. All of us, women and men, must do better."
"And then we do a much greater disservice to girls, because we raise them to cater to the fragile egos of males. We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man. If you are the breadwinner in your relationship with a man, pretend that you are not, especially in public, otherwise you will
