Betray: To expose (one's country, a group, or a person) to danger. In 2001 the U.S. Government betrayed its citizens by taking part and allowing one of the worst attacks in history to occur on U.S. soil. The terrorist attacks on September 11th didn't only shake the foundation of the extensive twin towers in New York, but also shook the thoughts, emotions, and togetherness of our nation and country. This catastrophe most definitely did some damage to the people who experienced this through family, friends, and themselves, but that doesn't mean it isn't hard enough for those across the continent. Because this horrific attack approached the innocent people of New York and the Pentagon, we shall both, and all, learn from the thoughts and beliefs of my grandmother, Sandi Snowden. Watching Sesame Street with the grandchildren seems a bit relaxing. Imagine all your relaxation flying out the window when you get a call from your husband to turn on the news. What feelings would you have. “What just happened? We all thought it was an accident, but realized this was planned. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I experienced that. I was scared for those people, and I had supplies built up for a while. I had extra water and food just in case. I was getting prepared.” We now know that our country will hurt …show more content…
Sitting in your recliner chair trying to imagine what those people were going through is tough. “Even though I haven't been to ground zero, to go back to the memorial, I think it would show that I am not afraid. I don't think we needed the towers to be as tall or as an easy target, although they showed our pride. I wonder how the people would feel if things were built in place of the towers, where their family and/or friends died.” It would be nice to have the terrorists know that even if they did leave a scar, we still live
The 9/11 Memorial has about 300,000 people visit it each year, you should be one of them to. If you go to New York the 9/11 Memorial is becoming one of the top tourist attractions in the city, and I can’t see why it's not at the top already. The 9/11 Memorial is a beautiful pool with gushing water running down its sides, and within the pool there is a smaller square pool that still has water running down to it. Just to top it off, it has trees that surround the pools, just imagine it when it’s in the fall and all the leaves turn colors and the leaves may float down and into the pool. The best part about visiting the 9/11 Memorial is that it is free! You should be one of the 300,000 a year.
When the twin towers were destroyed in New York, Manhattan, the people with an all american dream became devastated. The survivors of the victims lost the hopes and dreams, and the security that the United States provided for its nation. We were left not only devastated, but also vulnerable. We were no longer the beacon for freedom, but rather the nation of chaos. Over 3,000 people were killed in this attack. That’s not to mention the thousands that were not killed, but left with injuries for the rest of their life, disabilities they would later die from or suffer with. For example, when the twin towers were destroyed, the debris left over caused plenty of problems for the first responders or those who lived anywhere near the towers. “Those exposed to WTC-related dust were more likely to develop respiratory symptoms, sinus problems, asthma or lung problems. One in 10 Registry enrollees developed new-onset asthma within six years of 9/11, three times the national rate. New cases were highest during the first 16 months after 9/11”. (NYC resources.) We like to believe that the people affected by this tragedy were given the proper help but the promises made by our nation were not completed. We also have been affected psychologically, for every person five people at least one of them had Posttraumatic stress disorder, even if they were not in the building itself. We were left
Final Memorial Proposal Dear Members of the Board of Education: On September 11th, 2001, 2,977 people died as a result of the hijacking of four commercial planes by al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of those planes were flown into the Twin Towers in downtown New York City, a day that will be remembered forever. Many memorials have been made to remember 9/11, with the most notable being the 9/11 memorial where the Twin Towers once stood. To commemorate the central idea that in times of desperation and tragedy, knowing that death is inevitable causes people to make rash decisions, we propose the creation of "Echoes of Desperation", a memorial at Mamaroneck High School that will create sympathy among all. This exhibit will feature a sculpture outside
If I were older when the attacks happened, and I would have had an extremely strong reaction. If I were able to recognize the severity of an event like this would have taken a dramatic toll on me. I do not deal with loss or death well. On the other hand, if it were 20 years after, my emotions would still be weary, but the effect is lessened due to
The 911 memorial is a very thought-provoking place to visit, along with many other places in New York. It makes you want to think about what the people have been through. If they survived the attacks, or if they were sadly one of the many who died. Almost 10,000 people visit the site each day. I have never been the the memorial but I have read that people say it is “breathtaking”. If you ever visit New York, this should be on your to-do list.
Throughout many different times in the world’s history, there have been various different leaders, groups, and highly-respected people that have partaken in certain actions that go against other people’s beliefs or loyalty. These people have done many things to keep their actions a secret from the rest of the world. People show signs of betrayal and deception through their decisions made. Benedict Arnold was a very famous example of a person who betrayed his country. Once he left his country he had wrote a letter back to America explaining his actions and his reasons for betrayal including many uses of rhetoric. In the end, his actions don’t justify the means. His actions overall were not the right thing to do.
In 1984, written by George Orwell, betrayal is a recurring theme throughout the whole book. Betrayal is defined as being false or disloyal to someone. Betrayal is widespread in the Oceania society through the government, known as Big Brother, and the characters featured in the novel. Two of the three main characters, O’Brien and Julia, betray the third character Winston in the novel. Winston is dedicated to his hate against the government but after Winston is betrayed by his “friend” and his lover, he ultimately betrays himself, and admits his love for Big Brother.
Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups act is an act designed to stop the contact between children and vulnerable adults who may have been harmed. These people who have harmed them will then be on a barred list and will be barred from going into contact with the people that they have harmed. This is where CRB checks come into place when entering to work with any vulnerable people to ensure that they are safe working with them and not putting danger towards the vulnerable people. This links to people with dementia because they are vulnerable therefore they will be to be safeguarded. Anyone caring or working with the dementia sufferers will need to have a CRB check carried out to ensure that they are safe working with them and aren't going to harm them. The mental health act focuses on people who are at risk to themselves or other people. this act sets up certain frameworks that allow the care and treatments of mentally disordered people. This links to people with dementia because as dementia progresses they will be at risk to themselves and others therefore the mental health act can
The National September 11 Memorial is a place of remembrance honoring those who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The creation of the memorial allow people to come together to reflect on what happened there, not alone but as a community in a public space where people gather and congregate. My experience there was over all a very moving one. I believe every American should visit the memorial and take time to remember the women, men and children that lost their lives at ground
According the Merriam-Webster dictionary, to betray is “to deliver to an enemy by treachery”, or “to give information about (a person, group, country, etc.) to an enemy”. Betrayal is the result of many factors, including feelings of morality, greed and gluttony, and fear. In “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”, both the original novel and the 2005 movie, betrayal is shown to be natural behaviour that can fortify relationships and teach people to forgive. Firstly, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe demonstrates that betrayal is common behaviour that is the result of an almost-infinite number of factors.

There are, however, situations in which betraying one’s country is unjustified. When a person or group violently and disrespectfully breaks a law, such as the Weather Underground did in their protest of the lack of attention being given to the Vietnam War, their actions are unjustified. Now let us distinguish between an unjust action and an unjust cause. The Weathermen were in my opinion morally justified to go against the government and protest the war in Vietnam (obviously protest is very different than betrayal, but for the sake of an example …). This was their morally justified cause. By bombing buildings and bashing glass, they proceeded to act unjustly and were at fault. Nevertheless, the Weather Underground was right in placing their personal beliefs over their country.
On restless nights I have the best memory. The memory of unadulterated betrayal. A betrayal that cuts deep like an oil drill. Slowly edging deeper and deeper into the soil. Cutting through the thickest layer, until at last, the drill is fully submerged in the ground. Then, the worst. It begins by sucking every ounce of oil from the well until, nothing remains. Just a barren cell, that once, had so much to offer. It's sort of like a memory I recall. Have you ever watched an incoming storm? I have. You see the signs, the darkness encroaching on all light, the wall of steady droplets plummeting to the ground. You see so many warning signs, yet, the darkness is inviting, almost sensational. It drags you in regardless of better judgment, and you
