Carolina,
ReplyDeleteThe Egyptian plane crash was a very tragic one indeed. The problem with terrorist attacks is really how do you fix it, or is it even fixable? The U.S. has the TSA but is that really fixing the problem or is it creating new ones. Sadly, I believe this is a risk that people have to assume when they fly especially while flying in the Middle East. This is a problem, or risk, I don’t ever see going away.
Something definitely bothers me seeing those people taking selfies, smiling and making faces next to artwork meant to raise awareness about thousands of deaths. I can't tell if it's effective at raising awareness about an issue, or at simply raising awareness about itself. The artwork strikes me as fitting, but the reactions to it detract from the seriousness of what's actually being addressed.
