Post 9/11 Reflection

September 11, 2011, started like every normal day in New York City. People rushing to work, children going to school, and people taking a morning walk or jog. But no one knew that this day would turn into a horror film. A terrorist organization call al-Qaeda hijacked airplanes and hammered them into the World Trade Centers North and South Tower along with the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The September 11, 2001, attacks changed America forever (9/11 Attacks - 102 minutes That Changed America).

A terrorist attack is one of the most frightening things that one can encounter. They are unpredictable, random, senseless, and devastating. One of the largest and most well known acts of terrorism was the attack on the twin towers on September 11, 2001. During the attack close to 3,000 people were killed (September 11) and the nation of America was left in complete and utter fear. The laws and regulations passed as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have been helpful to American society because of new safety precautions, assurance that nothing of that magnitude would ever occur again, and an overall increase of safety for American citizens.

On September 11, 2001 terrorists apprehended 4 airplanes and committed the most heinous act in American history. They flew two planes into the world trade center, one into the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania crash killing more than three thousand American citizens. Since 9 /11many things have changed in America in relation to our national security.

Syria and Lebanon are two dramatically different states with a deeply intertwined history. They were both born out of French interventionism following World War 1, and have experienced complex and strained relations ever since. The two nations have both experienced prodigious political turmoil since gaining their independence, with both suffering from civil wars and conflict with their mutual neighbor, Israel. The war and turmoil that has plagued these two countries can be traced back to various competing national interests, as well as a struggle for regional power. The various religious groups in the area have historically formed transnational advocacy networks with the intent of influencing regional politics. These groups have proved to of been a major factor in the history of both nations.

Question 1: For those of you, who were not old enough to realize what was going on; consider how life has changed in the U.S. from a security point of view from the terrorist attacks.

George W. Bush once said that “Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They see liberty and think they saw weakness.” 9/11 was a devastating day in American history. Men, from the terrorist group Al Quada, attacked America on their own soil for the first time since Japan attack us at Pearl Harbor. But there are some things we can isolate from it. The basic overview of it. What were the terrorists doing to get ready for the day, and what was their major purpose and intention.

Using the concepts of security, terrorism and risk learnt in this unit, critically evaluate the record of global counter-terrorism measures since the 9/11 attacks.

In addition, the post 9/11 stigma has disturbed the American-Muslim mentally. In a brief report conducted by an American Psychologist,"Post 9/11: The Impact of Stigma for Muslim Americans," Saera Khan examines the communities experience. Khan conducted 12 studies on different populations and collected the data through her personal contacts outside the mosques, community centers and organizations. The survey involved 11 questions regarding how Americans view Muslims and Arabs. The data was collected between 2003 and 2006 after the two years of 9/11 incident. At that time there was a high wave of hatred towards Muslims in the American society. The type of questions which were asked were about how people were looking them after 9/11? Many of

Written Assignment Unit #5 3/6/2018 September 11 September 11th 2001 will always be remembered as a tragic day for the American people. It was a day where thousands of people died because others believed that the freedom that Americans had was sinful and wrong in the eyes of their G-d. But the American people would carry on from this tragedy and prosper for many years to come. One of the things we do not associate much with the attacks is sports. Sporting events were in fact affected by the attacks. Personally, it was not in my mind when I watched those towers fall. One of the things we do forget, is that sporting events bring happiness and comfort to a damaged country. Frank Linsky and Lena Williams wrote an article called Many Sporting Events Called off or Postposed which was about all the

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America divided two nations, yet knit one closer like the attacks on Pearl Harbor. There were many events that lead up to 9/11 that were only the beginning. The attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 was the finale. George Bush wrote in his diary, “The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century happened today…” (George Bush). This attack was a surprise, just like Pearl Harbor, but the U.S. reacted swiftly and effectively. The appalling events Now, more than a decade later, the 9/11 attacks still affect our life today.

On 9/11 there was a terrorist attack on the twin towers and the pentagon.The twin towers and pentagon were attacked by hijack air planes from terrorist.The U.S. responded appropriately by rallying the world behind a common purpose.The 9/11 attack affected americans and the whole world.I say the U.S. responded appropriately by not starting a war or by making it even a bigger problem.This was a big unexpected attack for the U.S.

In the horrific events of the 9/11 attacks, approximately 300,000 men, women, and children lost their lives. When we think of this infamous day, we often dwell on the tragedy that it induced. The film, Rebirth, took a very different outlook on these events and their effects on those involved. Rather than portraying only its adverse effects, it focused on how those who lost loved ones triumphed over their melancholy, and went on to still lead happy lives. Taking note from the film, we should remember these events by the true acts of leadership that mitigated the terror of this day.

In his book, My Jerusalem, former Mayor of the titular city, Teddy Kollek, creates and provides commentary on twelve walks through contemporary Jerusalem. The man who presided over Jerusalem’s 1967 reunification, the Jewish Kollek paints his city as a potpourri of peoples, faiths and cultures—and he seems glad of it. His celebration of the constant intermingling Jewish, Muslim and Christian aspects of the city was what interested me most in the book. As much as I’d like to believe in his descriptions of a peaceful potpourri, these feel perhaps too optimistic for a city still very much divided. Kollek emphasises the manner in which all manner of people flow together through the streets of Jerusalem: ‘the black-garbed Hassidim and the T-shirted backpackers, the long-frocked Armenian and Greek priests, the Ethiopian monks and the shorts-and-sandals kibbutzniks, the sensibly shod American Baptist pilgrims and the veiled Moslem [sic] women’ (16).

Since many religions have started in the Middle East, it has become the center for erupting conflicts. For instance, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been in the news for many reasons. Both groups want control of the God given land that they both claim is theirs, according to God, and what had happened in the past. The result of the conflict is religious terrorism (PBS, 1). Continuing, some Middle Eastern politics have been in conflict, even dividing communities of the
