Society is comprised of the "the people". And therefore society's
viewpoint is the collective viewpoint of "the people". A lot of people
think that it's stupid to senselessly destroy an expensive piece of
electronic equipment. Fireworks, by comparison, put on a far better
show and cost much less. This video of kids destroying an iPad,
however, symbolizes reckless behavior and rebellion.
