Do people still think of 9/11?
The emotional impact of 9/11 is not as strong now as it was seven years ago. Time will heal all wounds. Time makes us forget about things. Out of sight is out of mind. These old sayings are true. The longer the time has passed since the event, the less it will effect people. This is true if you ask yourself about your last tragedy and how long has it passed and how do you feel about it now. The more time passed the less it will effect you emotionally even though you will think about it once in awhile and your defends will remain somewhat the same. The media also helps people out a lot when it comes to emotional feelings about certain events. The media has not cover this topic very much since time lapsed. The media plays a very potent role in making people react.
If you walk on the street you won’t see or hear people raising the 9/11 issues any more, not as much as it was seven years ago when you walk down the street and see signs of ” let’s not forget 9/11,” in the front yard of your neighbors. I use to see those signs all around. I use to see stickers on the bumper of cars but I guess people have toss them since it’s a long time now. Maybe people didn’t toss them but the rain and storm throughout the seven years have washed them away.
If you turn on the TV, reporters are not discussing the issues of 9/11 anymore, they are talking about Paris Hilton more than ever. It seems like Americans are more obsess with party girl Paris Hilton than bringing their economy back. What has America becomes? No wonder why the terrorists are able to caught us offguard because we obviously have better things to worry about.
The war of Iraq is being discussed frequently on the News and it bring back memories of why we are waging war but people are not as angry about 9/11 as they are angry that soldiers are dying too much in Iraq. People are not that emotional about it but they are definitely mindful about 9/11. The average citizens are more concern about the 9/11 attack of their monthly bills than any other 9/11. People in the homeland security office are the ones that worry the most about this issues.
