About speech given by the Nigerian writer Chimmanda Adichie.

I think that the more important thing that Chimmanda Adichie, Nigerian writer, says  in her speech called “The dangers of a single story” is the idea that when you only see, listen or read  one side story, only one vision of something, probably you never know the real story. And sometimes it´s the same in the news in Chile because only a few people have all the control over news and over the things that we can see in the television. For example,  the news in Chile, in general for me, is like that “single history”, the dangers of a single story that Adichie spoke about in her speech. And the worst, is almost always they want to show us the bad side of the all stories. They show the pain, the misery, the dead. I think that in all my life I never saw a News´s program presenting only good things, with different edges of the same topic. We, like journalists, must be aware that there is always more than one story in all the things.

    My mother watches a lot of TV and this has become my mother in a paranoid woman.
    Watching TV is synonymous with living in a constant depression.
