Which Newsworthy Events do you remember from your lifetime?
Then ask parentals.

I haven't really been informed about worldwide events throughout my lifetime because I didn't watch television growing up, and I didn't start watching the news until a couple years ago. The only information I would really take in was when I watched Oprah with my mom. Although, I do remember some things...The most memorable event from my lifetime was 9/11 because it was all over the news when I was in elementary school. The War on Terror and the execution of Saddam Hussein. Then there was the genocides in Rwanda (the Congo War) and Darfur that I was informed by Oprah and the movie, "Hotel Rwanda". Then there was the Tsumani in Indonesia and Hurricane Katrina.

My step-dad remembers 9/11, when JFK was shot, when Reagan was shot at, and when the Berlin Wall Fell.
My mom remembers 9/11 and watching space shuttles take off on television, although she doesn't remember which ones.
