Informative Speech About Terrorism

2,966 people died on September 11th, 2001. When a man named Osama Bin Laden launched a terrorist attack on the United States of America. Four planes were hijacked and crashed into the Twin Towers, The Pentagon, and the last was thought to be heading toward the White House. But the courageous men and women on the plane stopped them, and crash landed in a field in Pennsylvania. Here, you will here about Nikki Goughnour, she was 24 on 9/11. And she remembers that she was at home, sleeping, when her husband woke her up and told her that the USA was under attack.

Purpose statement: The purpose of my speech is to teach my speech class about the history of September 11th, 2001.

Much has been made of terrorism and political crime lately. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon most have asked questions such as: How could this happen? Why would someone do this to so many innocent people? And possibly even more importantly, how do we prevent this from happening again? The attacks on that tragic day weren’t the first in our country though they were the most devastating to date. They were devastating in accordance with casualties and also emotionally for the whole country. One could only hope they would be the last, though this has not been the case. Before one can begin to analyze how the United States should combat such a horrific form of warfare and political change, one must first start to understand a few key elements. One must begin to understand what terrorism is, where it came from, and why terrorism exists.

Using rhetorical strategies is a very difficult writing style to achieve, it requires patience, organization and the strategic use of different words. Rhetorical strategies such as ethos, logos, and pathos are very simple to define, but using these strategies in writing, is a very complex skill that I struggled with prior to taking English 1301. After creating a Prize presentation about different rhetorical strategies, writing a rhetorical analysis essay with the aid of Purdue Owl, became more understandable. Prize presentations made it easier to understand difficult materials because my professor made other students and I represent each topic with an image and explanation. By allowing students to use Purdue Owl as a writing tool my professor

There is a controversial issue in regards to immigration. Some believe that immigration needs to be held at a controlled limit, and there needs to be stricter laws placed. Others believe that immigration has made America what is it today, and one should not be stopped for wanting to peruse a better life. I believe that immigrants should be allowed into America because they provide a major positive impact on the economy and that

Today I will be telling you about the attacks of 9/11. The attack happened on september 11, 2001. This was a very tragic day in history for everyone. This was the day in history that our twin towers/world trade center and the pentagon got hit with airplanes by a group called Al Qaeda’s. These terrorist had been living in the United States for awhile we just didn't know they had this bombing planned. Two pilots had tried to warn everyone else but, these terrorist got to them first. They had planned on hijacking 5 planes and making them crash but only got to 4. Two of which crashed into the twin towers. A lot of people died in this crash. This spread fast through the newspapers, television, or through the people. Lots of families lost their

Terrorism continues devastatingly in the United States to this day and has increasingly become a more major concern. Starting in 1886 with the Haymarket Affair, a bombing that killed 12 in Chicago, there has been an exponential increase in the amount of terrorist attacks since then. The 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center was a preface to many other terrorist attacks to follow, for example, 9/11. The destruction of this attack gave the United States a reason to fear more massacres and allowed us to increase security and protection of our nation. The biggest terrorist attack in the United States to this day is the 9/11 plane attack on the World Trade Center Towers that killed close to three thousand innocent citizens. What many people do

Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.

Imagine waking up and seeing the Twin Towers being hit by airplanes and seeing mass destruction in the city. What would you do? How would you feel? What would you say if you were the President of the United States at the time that horrendous attack occurred? “ One of the worst days in America’s history saw some of the bravest acts in America's history. We’ll always honor the heroes of 9/11. And here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice.” 9/11 was a very tragic and scary day for a lot of people and many people lost their lives and some are still dealing with the effects today. It would be very sad seeing the lives taken by this attack and also scary because you didn’t know if there were any other attacks to follow. Due to the events that happened that day, many things had to be changed in order to prevent another attack from occurring again.

It is put all over the media about the different terrorist attacks and the different warnings. Due to these warnings there are forty seven percent of people that think it has helped the people, but there is a larger percent, forty nine, who think the warnings they give are just to scare people. There are only a few people in the United States that think there is a good reason to be afraid of terrorist threats. Besides these few people there are multiple people in which believe that they have little to no reason to fear the threats. A few believe it is their duty to not show their fear of these attacks, but there are many more people who believe there is nothing wrong with doing so. The feeling of threat and fear come from terrorism, but another big thing that comes to terrorism is the cost. According to the IMF, also known as the International Monetary Fund, acts of terrorism impact direct and indirect economic costs. Direct costs include the short term things such as the destruction of property and life. This also includes all of the emergency service providers, restoration people to rebuild the building and the costs of a temporary house. Indirect costs are bigger and affect the economy by ruining consumer and investor

On September 11, 2011, the United States was rocked with a terrorist attack unlike any other to its date or since. As a nation we grieved and mourned the loss of those that died that day and in the following days from the event. While terrorism was nothing new on this date, terrorism has been around in some form or another since the time man began inhabiting the earth. Terrorism has never been something that the US has been free from, but it is something that the US viewed very differently from that date on.

Macbeth is introduced to the play as the “valiant Thane of Glamis”, who is loyal and affectionate. His fame on the battlefield is rewarded with great honor from his “beloved King Duncan”. Although the opinions of most suggest that he can do no wrong, his ambition is clear to the audience through his asides and soliloquies. Macbeth is influenced into his crimes by the prophecies of the three witches and by his wife, Lady Macbeth.

The history of terrorism can be traced back as far as the French revolution. Some of these acts of terrorism only seem as distant reminders of our past, but at the same time, are not a far cry from today’s brutal acts; and although these acts seem distant, it doesn’t also mean they are no longer in the thoughts of individuals in today’s time.

Terrorism can affect everyone at any time and place. Even when there is a threat being made in another country, halfway across the world, it affects everyone in some kind of way. It affects everyone because it is a threat to all the people in the world.

Terrorism, which has been around for as long as people can remember, has been on the rise for the past ten years. Terrorists usually use murdering, kidnapping, hi-jacking and bombings to achieve their political purpose. For instance, according to Wikipedia.com (2006), in 1985 816 deaths, then in 2003, more than 1,000 people died by terorist acts around the world. In recent years, terrorism seems to be at a new height and attacks are much more violent than in the past. Unfortunately, in spite of many anti-terror campaigns, projects and organizations are being created for prevention (to prevent) terrorism, the number of terrorists only is increasing. These days terrorism is all over the world.
