How 9/11 Changed My Life

September 11, 2001 was a day that devastated our nation and changed the lives of every American in some way.These terrorist attacks would ignite many changes in the lives of United State citizens.The U.S. government implemented a series of critical immigration policy measures,such as heightened airport security,increased funding,removing criminals,and turning police officers into immigration agents to respond to future threats of terrorism.In this paper we will examine how the attacks contributed to different factors.

There have been many turning points in American History; however none have the same effect as September 11, 2001, and many Americans relate the day to the country’s loss of innocence. As a result of 9/11 many American’s lives were affected emotionally, physically, economically, and politically.

The first major change that took place after 9/11 was more security was created. For example, the screening that happens now wasn’t as intense as it is now. It seems as if you are stripped from everything before entering the security screening process. Prior to September 11, 2001 you only had to show you’re identification card. You were even allowed to carry on knives and scissors. Although I do not remember this because I was only 4 years old, but my mother told me that only a curtain was used to separate the area of passengers from the pilot. Now, at every checkpoint you are asked to show you’re identification. We could board the planes without removing clothing, shoes or belts, but now you have

Our nation has faced many acts of terrorism, and hate-filled attacks over the years it has been around. Many have caused destruction, pain to many families, and many Americans to be dead, but out of the countless attacks, two from the many unforgettable and horrendous attacks that our nation has faced was the attack of Pearl Harbor in December 7, 1941 and the attack of the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001. Both these attacks were caused by hatred for our nation, and superiority feelings. Due to the catastrophic attacks and lives lost, these two events will not be forgotten easily in our nation's history for all the pain caused. The following is how Pearl Harbor compares to the attacks of 9/11 and how

At times the language and environment was harsh but I came to the conclusion that I needed to take a step back and allow someone to help me progress myself as an adult. For me, graduating basic training was one of the proudest moments of my life and whenever I look back at that day, I know that if I hadn’t of been put through that stress, I wouldn’t have the skills I do today to deal with that. The military was a great thing for me to experience, and I will always be thankful for

I left for basic training on July 30, 2008, and arrived in Fort Leonard Wood Missouri on July 31, 2008. Before we entered into our extreme training, we processed into the Army for a whole week at reception. On the day of actual basic training, we realized our great lives changed to instructions all day, miserable feelings, separation from family, and extreme exhaustion. Although, this was our life much more horrifying things were about to happen. We finally realized all the negative feelings we were having seemed to get worse, such as receiving a shark attack from our drill sergeants, we were told

The year I was born was march 19, 2001 this my name was Cameron price. This was a very significant year for the United States because of the terrorist attacks this brought people closer. In that happened in Florida where I was born was hurricane Gabrielle. This was a very tragic hurricane that happened in Florida and newfoundland. Hurricane Gabrielle was a North Atlantic hurricane that caused flooding in both Florida and Newfoundland in September 2001. They had 80 mile per hour winds lowest pressure was 975. The thing that was happening nationally In 2001. The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

Remember the hours after September 11th when we came together as one to answer the attack against our homeland. The time when the awful terrorists tenaciously hammered two American bearer planes into Twin Towers,not just conveying adversity to numerous families additionally the demise of numerous people. It was the most notice act that the terrorist has ever executed in American history. At long last awakening that america was never what it thought it had ended up. It showed to us, to every one of us that we could be ambushed by anyone at whatever time. It made us demonstrate to the world that we are not a country that ought to be upset, we will complete our assignment with whatever in our way. The 9/11 changed every individual's everlastingly,

The terrorist attacks on September 11 changed America forever. The attacks led to President Bush creating the Department of Homeland Security which tried to centralize the federal response to all terrorist threats. However, local police, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians will still be the first to arrive at the scene of an attack. These first responders face a unique and increasingly dangerous task when reacting to a terrorist attack on US soil.

Fourteen years ago, my father ran towards chaos as everyone ran away in fear. He believed he was just doing his duty to his country. He loaded up his gear got into the truck and began the long drive into lower Manhattan. Even at 5 years old I can still remember my mother sobbing, begging my dad not to go, not to get on the truck, to let the younger guys go. I remember sitting in front of the television watching the horrible terror that my dad was willingly walking into. My father was one of the hundreds of volunteer firemen that responded on that fateful September day. What didn’t cross our minds was that this heroic act could have negatively impact the rest our lives.

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.

The decade after 9/11 attacks reshaped many facets of life in America. Some changed were temporary in immediate response for Americas safety and some were proved to be more lasting transformations in the American life. The American lexicon was one of the things that changed drastically in the months and years after the attack. Among the words or phrases that entered them everyday language: al-Qaida, Taliban, ground Zero, Radicalism, extremis, anthrax and the Axis of Evil. Their usage dramatically increased and soon became apart of Americans' everyday lives.

It’s true. Most of us have not only heard this said, but we have said it ourselves. After 9/11, everything changed. How so, you ask? Many of our attitudes towards people of different ethnic backgrounds and religions have changed. Many of us have changed where we stand on the issue of immigration. We, as a country, as Americans, have changed in ways we never thought possible. Certain questions I need to address in analyzing this issue are: Do we have a greater sense of unity as Americans now or not? Does this sense cross racial, ethnic, and gender boundaries? Also, I will analyze if being afraid has made us xenophobic (having a fear of anyone of foreign origin).

At basic training your life is flipped up side down for eleven weeks with no way of talking to important people in your life ute through letters, you are forced to work with strangers, pushed to your limits, and are yelled at by grown men and women. The determination and dedication is what helped me get though basic training. I would have never guessed how basic would change my perspective in
