1) A situation when someone has applied a single story to me was when they talk about my academic performance because of my race (Asian), because there is a generalization that all Asians are smart and they should perform well in school just because they are born smart.
2) I am guilty as well of applying single stories to other people, for example when someone falls down, you get the impression that they are careless and then you associate that with them.
3) I think that power and a single story go hand and hand because the person who has the power can very heavily influence a persons vision of another.
