Our members also pointed out that, as the Duggars would have been giving only two talks (of the more than 40 talks available), their presence would have been only a small part of the convention and that the [Duggars'] philosophy is not representative of AHEA as a whole.

Since the beginning of time itself, Television has been one the most influential pieces of media that the world has ever encountered. The beginning days of television depicted stereotypical mothers cooking and cleaning their homes for their husbands and children. Yet, as the decades passed, television took a dramatic turn, leaving the days of drama free entertainment as a vast memory. Now a day, however, when one hits the power on button to Bravo, the screen lights expand to ritzy socialites dealing with their everyday lives as “housewives”. Bravo TV’s hit number one reality television show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, deals with the everyday lives of modern-day housewives. When speaking of these women and their family life, the reality series shows its viewers that family life in modern times is dramatic, full of misrepresentations of how people are perceived, and that fame comes at the cost of family.

The topic which I want to introduce is about the Family life. I am interested in this topic because of the book We All Fall Down which is written by Eric Walters, is based on the true event which happened on September 11, 2001. I think the author chose a very good topic, the 11/09/2001 terrorists attack. Which made this book very interesting and exciting. The author starts his book with a thoughtful note “For those who perished, and those who went on” I found this quote very touching because it’s summarizes the event which happened during the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. It seems for me that Eric Walters actually was there, and had written a story on the trues event. We All Fall down is a book about Will and his father trying

The G20 Summit’s that have taken place all over the world and each stop along the way has yielded some form of protest. The one that hits closest to home for Canadians is the G20 Summit that took place in Toronto, Ontario, on June 26-27, 2010. Protests were bound to happen in Toronto and the government believed they were prepared, police did what they felt was necessary, and the public has their own opinion of what went on during those summer days in 2010. People on each side of this conflict were going to be unhappy regardless of the outcome, and just like death and taxes, that was a guarantee. The G20 Summit’s that took place in Toronto were doomed right from the get go. According to a Maclean’s article from 2010, the Canadian Government spent upwards of $900
