Classless Society

Its around that time of year.  Particularly from a town like Dix Hills, kids over break will be traveling near and far, to beach resorts or to ski getaways.  Everyone loves a vacation every now and again, but with social media being so popular today, high school students in particular can take their trips a little too far by documenting their each and every move.  Between a trillion pictures on Facebook and an unnecessary amount of tweets, I think that some kids do not realize that there is an entire population of people who never get the chance to travel like they do.

The question I'd like to ask today is this: Do you think that there should be a level of sympathy shown for kids who do not have the opportunity to go away, or do you think that it is honest and within their justification to post pictures of them having a great time?  Even myself, having gone away every single break for the last 15 years, I still think about those who are seeing what I am doing from the outside.  Should people be so empathetic to not post pictures and tweet about their vacation?  Its a question thats interesting, and should spark a number of different perspectives.
