It is the "hot topic" of the moment. A Meme is is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". Taking a event, picture, movie clip, ect and using it in a way that was not intended, but still works, in a mostly humorous way.
However, some try to force it and "create" there own Meme, this usually a failure. A true Meme is spontaneous and usually spreads quickly. Look up the "I like turtles" or "got your nose" meme for an older reference, or just Google Meme in images.
Meme has been a meme for something like 10 years now.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
