Magic Madness-
I have not witnessed a live magic trick, so I will share my thoughts on the 'Walking on Water' video we watched today in class. Criss Angel is known for performing crazy stunts, such as walking on water. I don't know whether or not I believe in 'magic' itself. I second guess everything I come across, so after watching Criss Angel walk on water I partially want to believe he actually did it...but the idea of a glass platform is lingering in the back of my mind. Yes, it is quite impressive but I can't really believe it. If I was in the pool when he had done this stunt, then my thoughts would be different. Don't get me wrong, I could easily watch magic tricks and be entertained but the idea of actually performing 'magic' is a little...odd for me. I have seen Criss do other stunts (life threatening ones) and have wondered how he does this. He is putting his life, literally, on the line and does stunts with such caution and doesn't seem nervous. I don't believe I would ever want to reenact magic tricks which could potentially put my life in danger, but I have to say magic is interesting.
Broken Families-
I really enjoyed looking at these statistics and was really shocked at the numbers. Some were insane; mother and stepfather (5.3%) while a single mother reaches 5.79%. I do believe that if one lives with his/her mother, the child will have a less chance of falling into substance abuse rather than living with one's mother and stepfather. From what I have seen, mothers are more involved, so to speak, in what their child engages in. My parents are together so I cannot say much about mothers always being there, but I know my mother would be constantly worrying if she hadn't heard from me rather than my dad who wouldn't be as concerned. (Then again my mother is very over-protective). Overall, I do believe these statistics are somewhat correct but I can't relate to them.
