The consequence of the single story is this: It robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult. It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar

Explanation & Answer

The statement suggests that the single story tends to characterize individuals or groups of individuals (to include cultures or nations) by a single story.  I agree with the statement, as judging by a single story creates and perpetuates prejudicial thinking, categorizes persons unfairly, fails to recognize individuality and uniqueness, and sets a group of persons apart from others.  The danger of the single story is that it too often leads to hatred.
