Within a week of the event occuring, there was an increase in searches for gun control. This shows that the shooting brought resurfaced problems of gun control not only in America, but in other parts of the world. This shows the significance of events and how they can impact our country politically and socially.
This is significant because as we can see from the second chart, North America (specifically the U.S.)is more influenced by the shooting then the rest of the world. This is because the shooting occured in the Las Vegas so as we get farther away from Las Vegas, the searches become significantly less.
The Las Vegas shooting impacted world leaders. Read the article below to see how world leaders reacted to this massacre.
The graph shows that a fraction of the people interested in the Las Vegas shooting did further research about the victims. This is significant because in the article "Las Vegas Shooting victims" by New York Times, the writer shows how the people in the U.S., specifically Nevada, were dedicated to making memorials for the victims. In fact, the article "Tourists coming to Las Vegas..." by the New York Times says that "A steady stream of people come to pay their respects..." By having movements like "Vegas Strong" and memorials, we are bringing the U.S. together which can have huge social movements like promoting gun control.
