As the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaches, reflections on the impact of the tragedy continue to shape memorial events. Families of victims gather at ground zero to honor their loved ones, with younger generations increasingly participating in reading names, highlighting a generational shift in remembrance. The way 9/11 is perceived and discussed, particularly among younger people, has evolved, often leading to a casual attitude towards the event, as seen in social media trends that include memes and jokes. This contrasts with the solemnity of organized memorials, such as the Tribute in Light that will illuminate the New York City skyline. Meanwhile, the condition of Gaza is also brought into focus, with reflections on its struggles drawing parallels to themes of loss and confinement. Overall, the anniversary serves as a moment for both solemn remembrance and the challenge of conveying historical significance to those not directly affected by the events.
