9/11 Analysis

George W. Bush once said that “Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They see liberty and think they saw weakness.” 9/11 was a devastating day in American history. Men, from the terrorist group Al Quada, attacked America on their own soil for the first time since Japan attack us at Pearl Harbor. But there are some things we can isolate from it. The basic overview of it. What were the terrorists doing to get ready for the day, and what was their major purpose and intention.

I have always enjoyed movies. But at some point I started to think of movies as more than just entertainment. I began to view them as a movie critic would, rather than just a casual viewer. Because of this perspective, I think of "Apocalypse Now" as one of the best American made movies I have ever seen. As a student of and an active participant in the late twentieth century media age, I feel justified in making this statement. In my lifetime of observation of American media, including fourteen months of intense movie watching in conjunction with my employment at a local video store, I have had an opportunity to observe a broad sampling of the films, and feel more than qualified to make this statement. By referring to

Terrorist attacks weaken the spirits of everyone in the world. On the day of September 11, 2000, you can hear the endless hearts and spirits breaking around the world. In the article, “ 9/11: Finding Answers in Ashes 16 years later,” Editorial Board, tells the story of how the chief medical examiner, Dr. Barbara Sampson explains the process and the work that was completed after the 9/11 attack.

1. Please summarize both readings in detail, use dates, names, and any specific information contained in the articles to explain what both articles were about.

This week’s material has been over immigration in the U.S. Personally, this is a topic that I find interesting and fun to learn about especially since it is such a heavy topic in the media today. The history and development of immigration and the policies are important to understand. It’s never been easy to travel across the world to start a new life. Back when this content was founded there was quite a bit less paper work when it came to settling down. Now, after years reforms it takes a lot of documentation to enter the U.S. One of the biggest factors on such tight restrictions was the attack on 9/11.

After reviewing the scenario about the tragic events of September 11, 2001 political leaders in the US believed it was time to come up with a resolution to this problem so that we can ensure the safety of the American people. After deliberation amongst political leaders USA Patriot Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001) was created. The Patriot Act consisted of different topics based on the benefit and safety of the United States. Topics include enhancing security by investigating crime, increasing penalites of terrorism cases, limitations on immigrant migration across the boarder. Sharing information and cooperation among US government agencies so they

The terrorist strikes in New York City on September 11, 2001 resulted in one of the largest disaster recovery and cleanup trials in United States history. The recovery efforts hit an expected 91,500 workers which included aides operating in and throughout ground zero. (Ekenga, Scheu, Cone, Stellman & Farfel pg. one yr. 2011). This paper analyzes the many types of items recovery organizations were facing at that time. Many recovery issues that had happened were designed and prepared for "on paper". However, due to the research, there was a lack in multiple groups after the 9/11 attacks that had even showed little improvement towards their recovery plans. Also, the incident presented many un-known issues that had created tremendous difficulties

Explanation: The re-establishment of the diplomatic relations with Afghanistan was key in the authorization of Canada to help Afghanistan with military relief efforts, and the implementation of social programs.

September 11, 2001, millions of New Yorkers and American citizens woke up and started their day, unprepared and unaware for the catastrophic attack that would be taking place in just a few short hours. At 8:46 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. The impact killed all of the passengers and crew as well as hundreds inside the building. At 9:03 a.m., a second plane, Flight 175, crashed into the corner of the South Tower killing passenger, crew, and workers who worked on floors seventy-five to eighty-three. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. killing approximately 185 individuals (History.com Staff). Because of the damaged to the support system, fires, and impact at extremely fast speed, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. (Lipton and Glanz). Having heard about the acts of terrorism that had just taken place in New York and Washington, D.C., a group of passengers drove their plane, Flight 93, into a Pennsylvania field killing everyone on board but possibly saving hundreds of other lives in the process. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. 102 minutes after being struck (History.com Staff). On September 11, 2001, almost twelve hundred people were wounded or killed by “coordinated suicide attempts” by Al Qaeda terrorists. In result to the four airplanes being hijacked and used for premediated reasons, the United States government instituted new regulations for entering the country and airport security as well as expounded on systems already in place.

My favorite part about this assignment is how I was able to experience a visual of the assignment before writing it. I was easier to get a feel for what Mrs. Jones was asking for when I watched an episode of “Timeless.” The first event that I thought of was the attacks on 9/11. I felt that it was easy to choose this day due to the large impact that it had on the American society and the changes that stemmed from it. I felt that it was hard to write about the 9/11 attacks because I was very young when it happened, so all my knowledge of the event is by people telling me what happened. It was easy for me to recall the events from the movie. Compared to other assignments, this one took the same or longer than others. I really needed to come up

It is important to clarify that this is not an unique and unite theory, but instead it differs from scholar to scholar because each one have a different focus. With the emergence of new non-state threats that not only affect States but also individuals, like terrorism, the need for a new approach capable of offering new responses was indeed needed, following a post-positivist way (Malik, 2005). In the last years the wake up call to rethink security as a concept was the 9/11 attacks, giving to critical theory an opportunity.

The feeling of fear and anxiousness, panic, uncertainly anything that sounds similar to a terror attack such as what has been witness directly or indirectly for example through media. The panic of not knowing what is going on around you and seeing that other people are responding in a frantic way. This article and this time of remembrance of 9/11 allowed me reflect on when I was younger my school was only a few blocks away from the World Trade Towers and we heard the crash. The principal came over the loudspeaker a few minutes later to try to keep everyone calm about what happened and the authorizes ( chief firefighter) came on the speaker.That was cut short for me and a friend because our parents came rushing through the door to take use

For this assignment I reviewed “Life After 9/11” in the journal Fortnight (Life, 2002). This article took a similar “narrative” approach to that of the op-ed piece from the last assignment by Hunter S. Thompson (Thompson, 2001), instead of a news-specific approach (Litsky, Williams 2001) in that the article’s main point is to convey an emotional “side” or “story” over the “happenings” or strictly “news” of events. Similar to Thompson’s article “Fear and Loathing in America” this article makes specific future predictions and assumptions based on emotional opinions.

We watch films hoping to escape the world we live in, to discover possible solutions for improving our world, or in regard to prophetic messages for what our world might look life if we do not start living as our best selves. Apocalypse Now is carved out of darkness and immediately sets the stage for a film that journeys into the afterworld. S. Brent Plate is a philosopher that theorizes that by studying the ways films are created, humans can shed light on the ways religions are devised. Using Plate’s book Religion and Film this essay will analyze the film Apocalypse Now and the specific mise-en-scène used by director Francis Ford Coppola.

During the 2000’s, the word apocalypse petrified and frightened humanity around the world knowing that the world will soon come to an end. Post-Apocalyptic films illustrated the importance of catastrophic events as the films worked their way up into popular media during the 2000’s and how the world itself changed creating diverse conspiracies and predictions on how and when our planet will come to an end, which frightened humanity. The 2000’s are when post-apocalyptic films began to explode in popularity. Due to environmental and social trends which became popular during that time period, these movies showed the importance that humanity will survive no matter what apocalypse may come. The major focus of these films is to show and give humanity
