A news article in the Dialogue

Duke Dialogue published an article about my holiday host experiences during Thanksgiving. Below is our group photo for the thanksgiving dinner with the Gorsuch family. On the picture, from right to left: sheepdog George, father David, grandmother Ethel, mother Debbie, daughter Allison, son Aaron, Vijay (Indian student), and Tong (Chinese student).

?Before I came to the United States, I heard stories about divorce and how people remarry, and that many people don't even get married. These things aren't accepted in China ? people should marry, have children and spend their whole life together. So what I knew from movies and stories about American families was that this wasn't common,? she said.


........really?

This topic can certainly lead to a debate. I guess I was emphasizing the difference and the reporter was overstating it. What I learned from this was that you should always make sure that your audience understand you correctly after you made a statement.
