A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

When I was in schools, American history was Pilgrims, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, The Great Depression, and WWI. Then it was summer. We might have a school assembly in February to talk about MLK.
Did you finish school prior to 2001? Cuz, I mean, that's everything I learned in school too at that time.
But my daughter is 13 now, and I can confirm that she has been formerly told about 9/11. I don't think with as much detail as she will learn in her during her high school tenure, but she at least knows about it.
Oh yeah. I was in high school when 9/11 happened.
My son asked me if I learned about 9/11 in school … and I was like uh yes, in a way.
(I was sitting in my psych class watching it happen live)
Yep. And with each successively later era in history being more and more rushed because the history teacher was always behind schedule and the big standardized tests at the end of the year ate up a lot of time.
And then next year, in the next history class, you start over at Pilgrims again! Only difference is that now there's a little bit more detail and you're expected to write an essay about it instead of just answering some multiple choice questions.
