Outside the Classroom

When i sat in my Moral Problems class, and discussed about the 9/11 incidents, i got to know how naive and ignorant the teenagers/students of america are. Half of them don't even know what happened on 9/11, nor do they have any idea about the WTC 7 collapsing on the same very day.

I know the Government of USA had hidden the collapse of WTC 7 for almost five years. There were no news footage of the building collapsing and no video or news was aired about the WTC 7. But it did come out in 2007 and it surprises me how half of the Americans don't know what the hell i am talking about right now.

The Government here does a good job in hiding facts about "terrorist" attacks, but isn't it the citizen's job to question these? Isn't it their jobs to educate themselves about the fact that 9/11 incident could be orchestrated?? I am Indian, coming from India and i have more knowledge about the incidents than the people of this country.

There is no sense of responsibility whatsoever to know about these incidents. To investigate the claims. This is more evident in the younger generation. My American peers do not really care about what their country is facing because of what it did in Afghanistan and Iraq. They have absolutely no clue about the conspiracy theories ( which i think are not conspiracies). If this generation does not speak out and be well informed then the future is at doom. Their future is at doom.

Don't they understand that? Don't their parents talk about the lurking problems they are about to face? Don't they discuss about what has happened in the past? Shouldn't they be furious that how they don't know about WTC 7 event happened on the same very day of WTC 1 and 2? Don't they want to question about these "hidden" incidents and what the world is arguing about on this issue?

Actually all of it is not their fault. The entire system here is set up in such a way that the common people don't get to know about a lot of things. But some do because they are concerned. I am just scared about how ignorant my peers choose to stay here. Out of the class, the term paper is done, who cares about 9/11?

Thinking about the future of this behavior is frightening. It is frightening how everything is so easily overlooked here. It's frightening how facebook is more important than their own country.
