Sunday Reading: Talks by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

This Blog is a part of Sunday Reading task given by teacher to know about the Novelist  Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and we have to discuss three videos given below. 

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Born on 15 September 1977, is a Nizerian Novelist, writer of short stories, and nonfiction. She has written the novels 'Purple Hibiscus', 'Half of a Yellow Sun', and ' Americanah', the short story collection 'The thing Around your Neck', and the book-length essay 'We should all be Feminist'.

1) Talk on importance of Story / Literature: 

Ngozi Adichie is very good speaker. In the first video she talk about her family, her childhood writing, her view about the literature and also she talked about the danger of reading single story about any place, country and people that you can not judge anyone without any kind of authentication. In this talk, she said that she read and write only about British story and white characters with Blue eyes. So, I have question that Her father and mother had good job when she was young. So, why she did not read African literature or Story by African writer, there were no any colony in her childhood, was her mind colonized? or talked only to get sympathy from audience side who are white skin peoples?

2) We Should All Be Feminist:

Second video about the feminism. A very interesting talk on feminism that how social norms discriminate women from men. She gave many example of her life in which her primary incident about the class monitor was interesting. She talked generally same thought that feminist used to talk but I like most her thought that Culture not make people but people make culture, so we should change our ideology that we internalized . As a man we should respect women, there are many natural difference between men and women in body organs but women have equal ability same as men. We make happier world in which men and women both are equal, we must raise our daughter and son in similar way. So, this talk about feminism is worth to listen.

3) Talk on importance of Truth in Post-Truth Era:

In the third video about truth in post-truth era, she beautifully said about the courage of speaking truth. Her thought is to be loyal with ourselves to tell the truth. Post truth is very dangerous weapon in this 21st century, especially political parties make use of this kind of weapon to provocate riots and also Media used for profit and to raise their TRP. So. She tries to say that do not driven as sheeple with the political language, try to understand the truth with authentication and always doubt in such a things.
