Dumpster Diving

After going through the presentation of dumpster diving it really opened my eyes to what it actually was. I just had a clue that homeless and the less fortunate would go into a dumpster and get whatever could useful. The short clip that was shown really helped me understand how it is, it's not just a bunch of people going into dumpsters to collect anything that has value. What I don't understand is why are big named stores throwing out all of these food products that are still edible and not giving them to the less fortunate. Onto the question that was asked, that if I would ever go dumpster diving to get resources? The short answer is yes I would. If the circumstances were really bad and I had to survive, I would not think twice about doing it. Sure I would be embarrassed to do it because it's very unsanitary, but in the end I would rather be looking very bad than starving myself to death.

Responses to today's presentations

Drug abuse in kids dealing with their parents being divorced:

Raising a kid a one tough job not just for the parents but it's all very tough on the kid too. Having divorced parents is very difficult for children to deal with and statistics show that there's an increase in drug abuse because of it. Parents should always be there for their children but everyone knows marriages are never perfect, these numbers should raise awareness to divorced couples to pay more attention to their kids. The statistics shouldn't only be decided on the divorce, there are many kids that have a stable family but have drug abuse problems. It should also depend on how the child was raised but divorce is still a huge factor to it.

Magic madness:
I have actually never seen an actual magic trick being performed in front of me but I have seen numerous videos or shows that have done tricks that have amazed me. I was very surprised but I also had many questions like if it was reality or not. I was really into the whole magic scene back in middle school, I was into card tricks and other types of tricks.
