How Did 9/11 Changed America

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.

As Americans, we the people, as well as our nation are built on past events that have occurred. Sometimes our moods are even based on occuring American events. Currently, some people are ecstatic while others are heartbroken or mournful that our 2017 president-elect is Donald Trump. The election has already dramatically changed and shaped people not only in America, but in countries all around the world. My grandpa is seventy years old and has shared with me three american events that have shaped him into the respectful, thoughtful man he is today. He has been truly touched by meeting John F. Kennedy, the outcomes of the Vietnam War, and the outcomes of nine-eleven. People from different generations see America's identity, as well as their

On September 11th, a tragedy happened when almost 3500 people died from a terrorist attack. One thing that did not change after this was the way America held itself together. Something devastating had happened but they still managed to push through it and come out strong. As well, the support that American's and other places around the world gave each other are still strong today. When someone is in need, we all come together no matter where they are in the world, this never changes. Lastly, people did not stop using airplanes because of this attack. They still continued to use airplanes to travel around

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.

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,

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.

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 is one of our worst days, but it brought out the best in us. It unified us as a country and showed our charitable instincts and reminded us of what we stood for and stand for.” (Senator Lamar Alexander). September 11, 2001 was the day that changed America. Fifteen years later the U.S still remember and mourn the loss of those who died from the attacks.

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.

Steptember11, 2001 there were three; airplane’s that have been hijacked by Islamic terrorists. Three planes crashed into U.S landmarks, The Pentagon, North and South ends of The World Trade Center. The attack claimed the lives of 2,996 Americans, including 19 hijackers and caused the deadliest attack in America’s history but also in in Firefighters and law enforcement history as well. Soon after the attack, suspicion for the attack fell on AL-Qaeda the Government quickly responded with The War on Terror and invaded Afghanistan. The man who thought to be behind the attack was Osama Bin Laden. The attack had a significant impact on the economic. In New York City, About 430,000 job-months and 2.8 billion dollars in wages were lost in the three

After 9/11, the world as a whole took a turn. All of the sudden, we looked at the world as a scary and unsafe place. Why was our world becoming this? How was our world becoming this? What could be done about it? That is when Bush decided that he was going to change something to make sure that we felt safe and secure again in a place we all call home. “The NSA's broad data collection programs were originally authorized by President Bush on October 4, 2001” (ProPublica). Our government made a change immediately, only less than a month after September 11th, 2001. But only a short three years later it was found that the program that Bush had put into place has been illegal the entire time. He tried to fight, but he backed down quickly and let others

Terrorist attacks has changed the United States tremendously. Since 9/11 there are striker laws that have been passed, more security in known places that terrorist have targeted before. For Example, flying on an airplane or at an airport is totally different since the terrorist attack occurred. “The TSA already uses behavior detection screeners at airports to spot out terrorist and other dangerous travelers through subtle clues in the way these individuals act” (Maras, 2013, p.347). These security measures are just the beginning of how things have changed. Furthermore, citizens are now more cautions of where they go on vacation and people who supposedly look like terrorists can be frightening and bring up those memories. The victims and many

On September 11, 2001 (9/11) four planes were hijacked and three out of four crashed into buildings, killing more than 3,000 people. Economically the immediate consequences of 9/11 were a massive drop in the stock market, crippling losses in the airline and other transportation sectors, and widespread uncertainty. The Bush administration and Congress responded with a law that bailed out the airlines, and the economic issues temporarily receded politically.

Getting on an airplane for the first time is an exhilarating experience and something that will never be forgotten. As the planes take off that apprehensive feeling in the stomach as the plane leaves the ground, but everything is okay. Until you hear a scream and look towards the back of the plane and see three big men with guns and masks over their faces heading for the cockpit of the plan. How were they able to do this and why, so many questions but no time for answers. Security is something that is always changing and will never stop. People exploiting their freedom and creating tragedies creates a need for security. The September 11th terrorist attacks changed the life of every US citizen by increasing National Security.

There was nothing peculiar about the morning of September 11th, 2001, and in its early hours of the morning no one could have predicted what was about to happen. That morning, nineteen hijackers boarded four different flights with the intention of crashing the hijacked aircrafts into politically and economically significant buildings in New York and Washington. At 8:46 an American Airlines flight 11 struck the north tower of the World Trade Centre (WTC) in the city centre of New York. At this very moment no one knew, or even suspected, that this might have been a terrorist attack and that this day and the following events would be engraved into people’s mind as a black day of the modern history. The situation escalated only 17 minutes later when at 9:03 the second hijacked plane United Airlines flight 175 crashed into the south tower. The horror only continued when at 9:37 an American Airlines flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, a headquarter of the U.S. Department of Defence. Passengers aware of the on-going situation and the three previously crashed planes seized control of the United airlines 93 flight, the fourth hijacked aircraft which is believed to have intended to destroy the Capitol or the
