Marking the tenth anniversary of the simultaneous terror attacks in Paris, memorial ceremonies are taking place worldwide. Inhabitants of various countries, including Japan, are coming together to remember those who lost their lives and show solidarity against terrorism. These global commemorations not only honor the victims but serve as a grim reminder of the need for security measures and international cooperation to prevent such atrocities in the future.

The news of the Paris attacks shook Japan, a country well known for its low crime rate and public safety standards. The Japanese society views such violent incidents with great concern, given their emphasis on harmony and peace. Remembering foreign terror attacks accentuates their strong stand against violence and their support for global peace, while also reflecting on their own national security measures.

Similar to Japan, countries in the US and EU have shared global mourning and reflection upon such terror attacks. However, public discussions and political responses might involve more varied views on topics like immigration and domestic surveillance, given the more diverse socio-political context in those regions.
