Relating to September 11th Reflecting on past events affects who
we are, and how we look at the future.
People change everyday, because everyday we encounter new experiences
that help shape us. These experiences
give us memories, emotions and knowledge, which help to continually change
us. Although September 11th
was an event of a larger scale, this experience was no different. We have memories of September 11th,
which have created new emotions and knowledge for most Americans. This web page examines memory and
different aspects of how and what we remember. After researching memory, we then asked ourselves, how are we
going to remember September 11th?
We can to the conclusion that everyone is going to remember September
11th differently. There are
no set findings for memory (i.e. exactly how much one is going to remember,
exactly what details one will remember) therefore memories are based on many
different personal aspects. Although we all experienced the same event,
we all had different experiences, and therefore we all created different
memories. This is important when examining September 11th. Everyone experienced this tragedy
differently, and when examining it, you cannot assume one person will cope or
view it the same was as another. In conclusion, the question still
arises, how are we going to remember September 11th? This now
becomes a personal question. Looking
through our web page you can examine your own memory and ask yourself the
question, how am I going to remember September 11th? |
