Argumentative Essay On Charlie Hebdo

Since the terrorist attacks on 9/11, America has been on edge about the topic of terrorism. Groups like Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Taliban, and now more recently, ISIS, has kept the world cautious of their every next move. Looking more closely into how these groups are formed and operate could help us better understand how they can be stopped. Studying the history of terrorist organizations can help us better predict the future of terrorist organizations.

Every American citizen can remember exactly where they were on the day September 11, 2001, this day was burned into the mind of American because the biggest terrorist attack in American history would occur. Two Boeing planes hijacked by a terrorist organization named al-Qaeda who would crash the planes into the world trades centers, sending America into shock(Pizzo,2016). There have been countless laws and regulations passed in America since the awful terrorist attacks on 9/11, has it been effective or a failure. The attack on September 11, 2001, will forever be a turning point in American history, it raised one of the most important questions in American society today what is more import for a citizen freedom or security and the law put in place to combat these horrific terrorist attack ultimately would be ineffective and tear American more apart on political issues.

The person made the biggest impact on Canadians in 2017 are Omar Khadr, he was fifteen when he allegedly killed Christopher Speer, who was part of the US army, other soldiers were injured from the grenade in Afghanistan. I think that this is important to know because he now lives in Red Deer in Alberta and is going to Red Deer college. Some people agree with the 10 million dollars because his charter of rights were ignored and so the government gave him the money as an apology but others disagree because he killed and injured Us soldiers.So a bit about his life is that he is born in Toronto, Canada on the ninth of September in 1986. He has two sisters and four brothers. His father so-called brainwashed him in a way. His father had connections

It is very important to be aware that the media is capable of controlling the flow of information that citizens receive. Furthermore, much of the content suppressed in this country is for fear of retribution from others. When governments and other institutions suppress information, citizens are not able to address matters concerning their country, as well as around the globe. In ‘The Decline of American Press Freedom’ by Anne Applebaum, Applebaum explains a recent controversy with Yale University and the publishing of a contentious comic in a scholarly report on the global consequences of political comics. The comics in question were satirical in nature and displayed the Islamic prophet Muhammad in an offensive manner. In an aniconic religion where visual depiction of the prophet is inherently blasphemous, the Islamic response to these comics were violent. When an analysis of the comics and the cultural backlash was written, instead of publishing it, Yale University swept it under the rug for fear of offending Islamic extremists. Applebaum argues that if “Yale University Press refuses to publish [the comics], then that makes it much harder for anybody else to treat the cartoon controversy as a legitimate matter for scholarly and political debate” (Applebaum 640). By not allowing the publishing of this analysis, Yale University is censoring what the American populace have access to in terms of global controversy. The issue becomes trivialized because institutions fear retribution from extremist groups. Without these scholarly points of reference of this issue and others, it is difficult to have a serious conversations about the ramifications of political and religious satire. This leads to people remaining uneducated and ignorant of these serious issues, and liable to repeat these same actions that so sorely offended an extremist

September 11, 2001, the start of terrorism in The United States, and the end of innocence in our lives. Some of us are lucky to never know the fright of that horrid day. For others though, the events that transpired on September 11 will live on forever in their memory.

The death penalty should be reserved for the rarest of the rare cases. Even though it states in the Bible “And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death” (Leviticus 24:17), not everyone follows what the bible states. So, going the way the world is trying to lead we should only have the death penalty in place for those with multiple homicides or acts of terrorism. For example, during the late 70’s and earlier 80’s Ted Bundy an “American serial killer, kidnapper, rapist, and necrophilia (Sexual attraction to corpses) who assaulted and murdered numerous young women and girls” was sentenced to death by the electric chair. Timothy James detonated a truck bomb in front of a Federal Building in Oklahoma City, commonly referred as “Oklahoma City Bombing” the attack killed 168 people and injured over 600. On June 13, 1997 McVeigh was found guilty on all eleven counts of the federal indictment. The U.S. Department of Justice brought federal charges against McVeigh for causing the deaths of eight federal officers leading to a possible

On September 11th 2001 at 8:45 am flight 11 out of Boston, Massachusetts crashed into the North tower and made the tower come crashing down to the ground.Thousands of people died, Hundreds of people got injurys, and some people are still sick from it today.

9/11 was a tragic, dark time for many american citizens. The feelings lost ones are ever present along with the aftermath of these events. Could 9/11 have a good outcome? I believe it may with it causing many life saving advances such as modern airport security, a war on terror, and surveillance

Throughout the years that have passed many changing have been going on, either good or bad depends how people take it. Since 9/11, there have been different profiling due to that fact. For example, Detention and questioning at airports, Investigation of Muslim charities, bullying at schools, and workplace discrimination.

The current incident I would like to talk about is the shooting of Michael Brown story in Ferguson, Missouri that was occurred on august 9, 2014. Michael Brown was unarmed Black man who was shot to death by a white policer officer, Darren Wilson on Missouri street. The uncertain situations of the shooting, and resulting objections and civil conflict have caused significant argument in the United States. Eyewitness says that Brown was killed while he was trying to surrender himself from the police, but they say Brown attacked Wilson past to the shooting. In addition, they also say that Brown was in robbery before that day, but Wilson did not stop him for robbery, he stopped him for jaywalking.

Columbine. Virginia Tech. Sandy Hook. Pulse Nightclub. Last Vegas. Parkland, Florida. These are just a few of the 150 mass shootings that have taken place in the last 50 years. That’s an average of three shootings per year. If you ask me even one mass shooting is too many, but this is the tragic reality we live in. When something like this occurs, it sparks two arguments that seem to foolishly rival each other. Many demand that people take mental health more seriously. Others call for stricter gun control. My concern is why does it have to be one or the other? Why are these considered mutually exclusive? Mental health and gun violence are huge issues that the media seems to pit against each other as if we can only fix

September 11, 2001 will forever be known as an infamous and tragic day Americans will unquestionably remember. On this day, three planes filled with innocent civilians, were hijacked and crashed into significant sites. The three places the hijacked planes collided with were the Twin Towers in New York City, and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. In addition, the terrorists orchestrating the whole attack scheduled a fourth plane to collide into another aimed target. Fortunately, though unlike the other hijacked planes, the mission was unsuccessful. The passengers on the plane fought against the terrorists and eventually surpassed their power, landing the plane in Pennsylvania. Though this may have been a slight victory and prevented worse outcomes, it did not outweigh the devastating results of the collisions. Inside the Twin Towers and the Pentagon,

People question more hateful satire and ask “if we must use satire, can we not be gentler and more subtle?” (Ward). Religious hate does more than hurt the feelings of those it is directed towards; it also contributes to discrimination. Perhaps satire that is especially vindictive toward religions, particularly minority groups, should face consequences. Imprisonment for producing satire would be unreasonable, but small fines would be appropriate. Discrimination and hate deserve punishment, because free speech has its limits. Charlie Hebdo faced criticism from politicians who attacked what they believed were reckless and irresponsible drawings, although the magazine’s editor, Charbonnier, claimed that he is “not putting lives at risk” (Greenhouse). However, there is irony behind his statement. Just years after Charbonnier defended his illustration, the office of Charlie Hebdo was attacked by terrorists and eight people were murdered, including Charb himself. They say that hindsight is 20/20, but once lives outside of the satirist are put in danger, it is the duty of this artist to do what is safe for

September 11h of 2001 was the most terrifying and memorable day for Americans. This event shook the world because nobody would have ever expected these atrocious actions that happen that day. Two of those four planes crashed into the north and south tower called “The Twin Towers” located in New York. The remaining planes had two other goals. One of those planes crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense) located in Arlington, Virginia. The final plane failed to crash into the White House because the passengers overcame the hijackers and made the plane crash into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. More than 2000 people died and 6000 thousand were injured. The events on September 11 made Americans hate the Islamic culture, causing the U.S. government to impose stricter requirements for immigration and making them fortify their defenses against terrorist groups

Jared Loughner committed a horrendous crime on January 8th, 2011. He killed six people, and injured fifteen others. His target was congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. This event has left everyone devastated, and confused. There are many questions, for instance: Why did he wish to commit this act? Will understanding his reasons certify that this will not happen in the future? Does he have a disorder?
