How 9/11 Changed American Society

When “9/11” occurred, it changed American lives and shaped how we live and know life as it is today. Thing would never be the same in points of access, such as airports, military bases, local and even schools. As the years went on, the younger generation understood and accepted what was happening. Just a year before 9/11, you could access military bases with only a driver's license, and walk up with your loved ones to the point they boarded the actual airplane. Are these new strict measurements that we’ve grown so accustomed to necessary? Many will say no, and even call it overkill, but it may just be what we’ve needed all along, instead of relying on a false sense of security.

It has been fifteen years since September 11th, 2001, and the United States of America has changed since then. The cause of the crash was by the hijackers Osama Bin Laden and eighteen others that took control of four flights. On the morning of Tuesday September 11th, 2001 three aircrafts were headed to Los Angles California. The first aircraft to takeoff from Boston Logan International Airport was American Airlines Flight 11, within an hour and forty minutes Flight 11 crashed into the north tower of The World Trade Center, eighteen minutes later the second aircraft was United Airlines Flight 175, also out of Boston Logan International Airport plowed into the south tower of The World Trade Center, the third aircraft American Airlines Flight

It has been ten years since the worst terrorist attack in the history of the United States. In the decade since the September 11, 2001 attacks, the U.S. has been entrenched in two ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Department of Homeland Security was founded, and Osama bin Laden, the alleged perpetrator of the attacks, has been killed. The Patriot Act and other legislation increased surveillance while decreasing our civil liberties. Here's a look at how the attacks and America's reaction to them still affect American lives today.

On 9-11-2001 America changed. It was a Tuesday morning when the Islamic terrorist group of

The events that took place on September 11th 2001 have forever changed the United Sates. On that day it was clear that our borders were not secure. Our nation’s security was questioned, and our national security plan, as a result, had to change. President Bush did what he felt was needed at the time, laying out the foundation for a surveillance apparatus, involving the Patriot Act and the National Security Agency. This United States’ surveillance apparatus though, draws a thin line between privacy and security, forcing us to trade our liberty for security. By trading our liberty for security we lose both, and thus, move towards losing our democracy.

September 11, 2001 was a day of a chain of events which changed the United States forever. Multiple attacks were placed on America, the first attack being the World Trade Center, (Twin Towers), in New York. The second attack was on the Pentagon. The third and final attack on September 11 was an attempt hit on what's said to be the White House in Washington DC; however, men and women were able to take some control of the hijacked plane and crashed in a small country field.

I do understand where people could compare those two events by death totals and how they both came out of nowhere but I don think there are exactly the same. 9/11 had much more of an impact on our contry,it hurt us emotionally economically and "physically" but it brought us together and helped us fight for the greater cause,Yellow fever did not do that

How well could you re-call where you were, what you were doing or what happened on September 11, 2001? I know I can re-call every emotional, fearful and chaotic second of that day, today, 15 years later. Because of the events that took place on that day, “the day that changed America forever” we are still dealing with these unsolved serious issues. Terrorists struck America in the heart of New York, Pennsylvania, The White House, The Pentagon and World Trade Centers’ killing millions of innocent people, land marking “the day that changed America forever.” Aside from the research I have done on this historic event we have all watched it unfold from the starting of day one. The issues on Terrorism and the change it put not only on America,

On September 11, 2001, an Islamic terrorist group, known as Al-Queda, hijacked four American airplanes and attempted to crash them into important United States landmarks, such as the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the White House. Unfortunately, the hijackers succeeded at The Pentagon and World Trade Center. Nearly three thousand people lost their lives because of these attacks. Sixteen years later, people still remember it as one of the most tragic events in US history. On this day, the most massive terrorist attack to ever happen on American soil occurred, yet the after effects of 9/11 are even larger; because of 9/11, the United States has developed safer air travel and immigration policies, but unfortunately, innocent Islamic people suffered and are still suffering from hate crimes.

9/11 was what I chose as the most crucial moment in history. This is because it changed the lives of many and changed society as we knew it. People all over the world, not only America watched as the twin towers burnt down with shock. This event is something that will be remembered forever and referenced t in classes, in conversations, and in the media. It affected society greatly around the world. After these attacks, everything was different.

Ever since the impact of 9/11 it has killed nearly 3,000 people which is still plays a big factor into today’s society. Much debate has arose on whether the government formed new agencies to protect the United States citizens. Many do not realize the long term effects with 9/11 and how it has changed are whole society. “Although, after the attacks the federal government created the Transportation Security Administration and, on Nov. 19, 2001, Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act” (Poladian). Like agencies know they want people to show up to the airport early before there flight so that they can take their shoes off and go through a security check point. These are the reason why airport security has intensified (Poladian).

In the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the immigration policy measures to respond to future threats of terrorism. Ever since 9/11 the immigration policy needed to be changed with the Enhance Border Security, the Homeland Security Act, and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002. These three new policies helped and made driving difficult. For example, many college students would like to study abroad but getting approval for a Visas takes time. Reports say that because the hijackers were all Muslims, a small proportion in the immediate aftermath of the attacks was focused on Muslims or those who were perceived to be Muslims, with broader use of nationality-based screening and enforcement programs.

"Where were you when the world stopped turning, That September day" (Jackson). The opening lines of the popular Alan Jackson song stir something deep within every American old enough to remember the horror of September 11, 2001. One Tuesday morning, America, and the world, was changed forever. The very freedom America so boldly stands for came under attack. Americans were introduced to a new form of warfare: terrorism. Throughout the United States, the citizens of this great land stared at televisions screens in utter disbelief, as they watched planes fly into the World Trade Center Twin Towers, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. With tears streaming down their faces, they watched people trapped inside the buildings jump from 90 stories

On September 11, 2001 terrorists crashed into the the Twin Towers killing, thousands of people. Each year people reflect back on that day and constantly worry about another attack; people are always intrigued by the stories and documentaries that people hear about on T.V. Trust is firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone(dictionary.com). All people can do is to trust in the government to make good decisions to make the U.S safe and secure. The 9/11 attack changed people forever, people lost family members and jobs. “If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate(heavy.com).” 9/11 had a major impact on U.S. society because it engaged the U.S. society

According to the Department of Homeland Security's yearbook of Immigration Statistics, deportations have doubled from 200,000 to nearly 400,000 annually since September 11th, 2001. The Obama Administration has seen most of this change within the first two years in office. Could the Immigration and Customs Enforcement be to blame? Or is this possibly one small statistic affected by the terrorist attack that occurred on September 11th, 2001? How the United States immigration policy, national security, and social activity have been affected by the events that occurred on September 11th, 2001 will be explored.
