Part of what makes Sweet Home great is our rich diversity. However, what we have learned from this Ted Talk is that when we repeatedly see or hear a "single story" about a particular group of people through our media, literature, or in conversations, we are creating a stereotype that makes one story become the only story. There are negative stories that happen all around the world, and the media only seems to focus on those stories rather than the positive ones. When we meet people who are different than ourselves, we focus on those differences rather than how we are similar. We need to learn about all the stories, to see both sides, to not just focus on the negatives.
The pairing of these two videos makes sense in that it teaches us that coming together and sharing stories from different perspectives, learning about the past, present and predicting the future with all of these different perspectives is a great strength. It teaches us that we need to work with people that are different than ourselves and know various parts of the story and not just go with our own ideas.
