How Has 9/11 Affected Our Society

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.

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.

    On September 11, 2001, Islamic extremists stole four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against the United States. Two of the airplanes were flown into the twin towers in New York City, the third airplane hit the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth airplane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Known as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering the United States to create major changes in their security and terrorism protocols. While everyone agrees that what happened on 9/11 was terrible, many believe that the changes in America’s security protocols are not for the best. How 9/11 affected America’s security protocols was for the worse, it caused: privacy invasion for foreign and American civilians in airports, immigration laws increased out of fear, and discrimination and racism towards Arab civilians.

September 11th, 2001 is one of the worst moments that has ever happened for America. With the Death Toll of Approximately 3,000 people, 400 of them firefighters and Police Officers, this day is often remembered with memories of fear. I think that this is one of the most influence events in America’s History for many reasons. First, because of the death toll. Second, because of how it affects life even today.

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

While 9/11 was a very important moment in the lives of many Americans, not many realize the direct impact this tragedy has had on their lives, and their country. For one, 9/11 greatly changed America’s involvement in wars. It also completely changed the way airport security works in America. Finally, 9/11 caused the American government to begin collecting significantly more data from its citizens, something which has been quite unpopular with the American populace. No matter how you look at it, 9/11 has left a permanent mark on America.

Since the events of September 11, 2016, many Americans want to know what the government has done or are doing to make America safer and is it working. After America endured attacks or was involved in war, the government made changes to attempt to make the country safer. Some of the most recent changes involve The Patriot Act and changes to our immigration laws. Before we can look ahead to the present, we need to look into the past to see if our government has learned from past bad practices or if they have indeed helped us become more secure as the United States has had its share of surprise attacks.

On the morning of September 11 2001, terrorists hijacked four planes from American Airlines and United Airlines with the goal of ruining the U.S economy. Two of the planes achieved their goal and targeted both towers of the World Trade Center along with the Pentagon, resulting in the death of approximately 2,975 people. The events that took place on this day had a great impact not only in America, but around the world as well. After this day there were major changes in air travel, new government regulations, and a financial crisis.

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

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,

How the 9-11 attacks changed america 9-11 has changed America's view on terrorism. Not only our view of the islamic culture but immigration and how strict we are with security, not just with airports but with events with high amounts of people in one specific area. It happened with Alceda that most people didn’t even know about them. Osama Bin Laden wanted to have an impact on America and they didn't have the weapons for attacking the army. They wanted the whole world to be afraid of them because since america is a strong country it would make every country fear the Alceda and tried to make the U.S weak. Approximately 2,977 innocent adults and children and also 343 new york firefighters and 23 police officers were killed with the collapse with the building and the planes hitting the buildings.

One of the most known and worst events occurred on September 11, 2001. Terror attacks occurred in the United States of America in the cities of Washington D.C. and New York City. An Al-Qaeda terrorist group organized this attack by sending terrorists on four different airplanes to crash into the World Trade Center in New York City, and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center, while another one was targeted for the Pentagon. Although one plane hit the Pentagon, the other went off course and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The plane that crashed into a field in Pennsylvania was supposed to either hit the White House or the Capital building. Over 3,000 people died and this day in

Before the attack on September 11th, Americans lived under the assumption that they had immunity from the world’s turmoil. But who could blame them; a foreign attack had not taken place on American soil since the war of 1812, not to mention, America’s greatest adversary, the Soviet Union, had disbanded nine years prior, leaving the US with no considerable enemies. Whatever the circumstances under which the September 11th attacks occurred, the resulting events would change commercial aviation in perpetuity and leave a lasting economic, militaristic, and humanitarian impact on the world.

Lets face it, it can be very difficult today growing up as a Middle Easterner in today’s society,  I can personally recall a time where I went out with a few of my muslim friends; during this outing a white male bumped into a couple of my muslim friends and yelled “Watch out, don’t bomb me!”  Seeing the anger that this caused for my friends led me to realize that middle easterners are just like any other minority and maybe even worse.  Today, Arab Americans often have to question themselves who they truly are.  In the book Rethinking the Color Line article 18 by Moustafa Bayoumi, mentions that muslims face a mixture of suspicion, misunderstanding and fear. (Bayoumi 134) Ever since 9/11 occurred, society has had a negative assumption of all
