These memes serve as informative statements that can be used to explain both modern life and how previous generations lived. This meme depicts an older generation projecting their son’s emotionally traumatic wounds onto him, and the son views this as a parenting style (Pishghadam et al., 2020). A father who is supportive and caring when raising his fifth-generation son gives the child a higher chance of having a good life by not reflecting the generation’s needs trauma onto him. This demonstrates how children’s development has altered with each passing generation. This is mainly because children from earlier eras abandoned their parents’ worldview in favor of fresh perspectives.
The second illustration demonstrates how a parent who has gone through a horrifying ordeal and has not yet accepted it but instead projects these bitter thoughts onto their child could end up being left by that child and continue to face horrible memories and isolation. This demonstrates the need for parents and kids to develop a shared language to avoid such occurrences. The final image demonstrates the significant effect that a traumatic event, such as war, can have on humanity. To assist war victims, international authorities must act. Healing from a history of trauma can be challenging, regardless of who committed the atrocity, the victim, the perpetrator, or, as some individuals have discovered.
The fourth picture shows Native Americans were rounded up, confined to only certain parts of the land, and their children were taken from them and sent to boarding schools, where they were not allowed to speak in their native languages, celebrate their family’s culture, or practice their family’s traditions. The last picture shows the most pressing topic; these are refugees from Syria. Children from Syria have been subjected to the terrible effects of the war. These pictures show that people need to be informed about what problems are happening in the world.
