Lately, reality television has become a hot topic of conversation in many circles. We are increasingly seeing reality television shows and documentaries that take the public into the lives of large families with young children: the Duggers, Jon and Kate Plus Eight, Little People Big World and now Nadya Suleman's family in southern Calfornia.
Can you see both sides of this story? If you feel that this type of media attention is exploitive, what are some of the other options that you see parents such as Suleman having? What are some of the benefits that can come out of this type of programming either for the family being filmed or for viewers in general?
