How to Make Ad- Ad busters
In Chapter 6 of Convergence, Robert Atwan talks of a global network that comprises of artists, activists, pranksters, students, educators as well as entrepreneurs. The main purpose of the various groups illustrated is to change the way things are perceived in the 21st Century. I seem to concur with the arguments of Robert Atwan (Atwan, 2002).

The activists claimed that if they were being loyal towards uplifting the economy, the Bank of America should also follow suit and pay taxes without exemption. Through the protests, the activists wanted the bank to be accountable for all the actions they were undertaking. The main aim of the activists in participating in the protests is to fashion a society in which banks become honest through prot...
