How Did 9/11 Changed America

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 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.

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,

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.

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 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.

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

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.

On September 11th of 2001, more than 3,000 people died during the terrorist attacks. The event changed the lives of not just the people whose loved ones died on that day, but also of those who belonged to the Islamic world. The experience of Muslims who lived in America in 2001 and those who were yet to come here would never be the same again. After 9/11, the number of hate crimes against Muslims in the United States increased and their everyday lives changed forever due to the rise of islamophobia and the vicious influence of the American media.

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

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

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

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

Since 9/11 there have been several airport incidents which have prompted many to question the effectiveness of airport security. As a result of 9/11 security all over the world has increased significantly and passengers are now limited to the number of and types of items they are allowed to carry. The Transportation Security Administration also known as (TSA) was created in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in an effort to strengthen airport security and prevent similar events in the future

September 11, 2001 was a Tuesday and changed air transportation as we know it. This devastating day in history was when a total of four American Airlines airplanes were hijacked. Most collided with important United States buildings. The first two planes intentionally collided with each of the Twin Towers in New York. Shortly after, the third plane hit the Pentagon in Virginia. Amazingly, the passengers on the fourth plane gained control of the plane and never allowed it to collide with a building. As a result, they suffered a crash landing in an open field in Pennsylvania. That day in history, now referred to as 9-11, had a major impact on international, domestic, commercial, and private air travel because it illustrated something had to be changed in regards to safety and security issues.
