This one is from a Ted talk and many will probably have seen it already and yes, I did kind of find it inspiring, so here it is.
"When we reject the single story, when we realise there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise."
The consequences of the single story to my mind are capital flight, a condescending outlook towards one's own culture and traditions, a reluctance to believe and invest in these, (food yes, dress, on occasion, the rest, please) - and an inclination to shop at Harrods.
