Generation 9/11: Shawn Lent (USA)

Published September 13, 2011

Though the attacks of September 11 were most keenly felt in the US, their impact resounded worldwide. For many who came of age around 2001, the events of that day shaped their worldview, sometimes in surprising ways. Ten years later, the British Council asked young adults from across the globe how their perspective of international and cross-cultural relations has changed.
