Relative Ethics on Globalization

When it comes to globalization, everyone may have a different vision of it’s outcome. For Marcelo Gleiser, the author of “Globalization: Two visions of the Future of Humanity”, a completely globalized world may result in a dystopia. In contrast, Jeffrey Wasserstrom, the author of “A Mickey Mouse Approach to Globalization” and Tanveer Ali, the creator of “The Subway Falafel Sandwich and the Americanization of Ethnic Food” may think of globalization as other cultures sharing each other’s components to interact on a new level and spurring a more “open-minded” (Ali 27) individual.

The world knows America better than us Americans know of it. Through emotion and painful events such as this one America has came to better understand itself and the strengths that it has. America has one of the strongest military personal in the world, allowing us to be able to react to attacks such as this one. Peck states “Since September 11th, I believe we’ve been living out a national melodrama” (737). A western movie was created by President Bush “Wanted: Dead or Alive” casting Osama bin Laden causing the defining moment of Americas melodrama allowing people to be aware of the attacker by posting posters throughout the United States. America has sent military troops over to Iraq in search of the attackers killing innocent citizen in order to voice our opinions on this matter. “The best assurance that the US will not again be the object of comparably horrific terrorist attack is an equitable distribution of global capital that moves wealth more evenly though out the world and generates genuinely reciprocal forms of cultural

On April 19, 1995 the world was thrown into shock. Terrorism was not a thing in the United States. It was even more of a shock to find out this terrorist was a resident of the United States. Not only did this tragedy effect the hundreds of people inside the Oklahoma City Murrah building, it also affected billions of rescue workers, families, and loved ones. All the different groups of people affected by this bomb copped in very different ways.

September 11th, 2001 is a day that left deep scars on Americans and America’s history. Extremists from a terrorist group, called al-Qaeda, whose main goal is to make countries that are predominantly Islamic get rid of all non-Islamic influences, hijacked four commercial airplanes, full of innocent passengers, and then smashed one into each of the Twin Towers or the World Trade Center in New York. Shortly after, there was another attack on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Back in New york, both of the twin towers collapsed. The fourth hijacked airplane did not do much damage. It landed on an open field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. All together 2,996 innocent individuals died. An emotional impact was left because many people lost their family

Once terror struck and the shooting occurred our entire country felt the sting of it. America

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.

We all remember the terrorist attacks of 9/11. It was a bright and sunny morning when a commercial airliner crashed into one of the twin towers. Everyone thought it was an accident, it was all over the news, but in mere seconds, the second plane hit. At that moment, everyone knew what had happened, the most devastating terrorist attack in U.S history had just occurred. By the time everything was said and done, America was confused and filled with rage, and when Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist organization, Al-Qaida, claimed responsibility, we were ready for payback. If there is one thing that Toby Keith got right, it’s that the US of A does not take kindly to being attacked by terrorists and so, we clashed with our enemies in the Middle East for over a decade, but that’s another story. Osama Bin Laden had been conducting terrorist attacks ever since the 90’s, like when the U.S embassy in Kenya was bombed in 1998, but we didn’t take action until after we got hit on American soil.

On September 11 members of Al-Qaeda hijacked four planes in the United States. Two of which crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on the plane and an additional three thousand, who were either inside the building or emergency workers who rushed to help. A third plane flew into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers gained control against the terrorist. Bush declared a “war on terror” and accused Afghanistan and Iraq of supporting Al-Qaeda. The United States also tightened their airport security, as well as, their border patrol. I belief that the United States did not respond appropriately. In my paper you will read about, the United States responds, how this affected the people, and my thesis.

Three thousand dead. A brutal, senseless tragedy that shattered American morale almost as much as the plane crashing into the towers did. Growing up as a Muslim in a post-9/11 society has always been difficult. While I was only three when it happened, 9/11’s impact on Muslims significantly altered the course of my life. For weeks after it happened, President Bush and the media struggled to rally Americans together in the face of disaster and to unite them against the Taliban, However, many Americans began thinking that “Taliban” was synonymous with “Muslim”. American Muslims were painted as the perpetrators; we were all grouped together with the terrorists, all of us were so called “allies” to the enemy and were seen as playing into the hands

On December 9, 2011, a terrible terrorist attack had occured in New York, and Washington D.C, leaving a forever impact on U.S. citizens and other citizens from different countries.

The United States has done a tremendous amount in response to the attack on September 11, 2001. An event like this caused lots of death and lots of despair, just tragic for everybody all across America. The attacks are considered the worst act of terrorism in the history of the United States of America. The response from Americans is nothing short of incredible. In other times of crisis in our countries history we seem to panic or riot and destroy ourselves even more. After the attacks on September 11, 2001, everybody pitched in and worked collectively to help restore our country. Both survivors and victims were honored. Billions of dollars went to the aid of the city and the families who were affected. September 11, 2001 worsened the economic

Living the United State when one thinks of a terrorist attacks often their mind will first go to a larger scale attack such as the events of September 11th 2001. “September 11, 2001 changed the United States forever, the terrorist attack that day marked a dramatic escalation in a trend toward more destructive terrorist attacks which began in the 1980s. It also reflected a trend toward more indiscriminate targeting among international terrorists. The vast majority of the more than 3,000 victims of the attack were civilians. In addition, the attack represented the first known case of suicide attacks carried out by international terrorists in the United States.” (Waston, 2002) However as the years have gone by we have come to learn that terrorist attacks are not always on a large scale and that even one person who is inspired by the ideologies of a terrorist group without being directly connected to them can carry out attacks. Those that engage in this type of terrorism are referred to as lone wolf terrorist. A recent example of such an even was the mass shooting at the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center in December of 2015.

For example, terrorists attacks were made in Paris, France in 2015. On Friday November 13, 2015 at 3:20 p.m, guns went off, bombs exploded, and many people killed and wounded. Gunmen and suicide bombers all had hit a concert hall, a major stadium, and restaurants and bars almost all at the same time. It had left 130 people dead, and hundreds wounded, with more than 100 in critical condition. The President of France described this attack as an “act of war” against the Islamic State. Three teams were believed to be behind these attacks. Instantly after the attacks, French police carried out hundreds of raids across the country in search of the suspects. This tragedy hurt, and touched every single heart in the world. The U.S. sent troops over for support, and to help Paris out. Carried throughout all social media, were messages and prayers going towards Paris (Paris Attacks;BBC News, 2015).

Globalization is an undeniable phenomenon of our modern societies. Global patterns keep spreading in many fields of our everyday life: food, economy, marketing, and last but not least, culture. Cultural products are indeed very often produced following the American pattern and exported to various places around the world. Hollywood blockbusters are huge hits in many different countries, our radios broadcast more and more American songs and even our national singers choose to sing in English rather than in their native language. Globalization is caused by many different factors. Cross-border processes such as interregional trade, employment, population migration and military conquest or colonization probably constitute the main factors (Holton, 2000, 141, 149).

Globalization is important to understand in order to determine what worked in the past and can be successful again in the future. Our many cultures, ideals and growing technology form together to create an extremely global world. We use products that were made on the other side of the world, and are taxed on practically everything. Whether the effects of our global society is good or bad, there’s no doubt that the world is constantly changing and impacting our livelihoods, so we must adapt accordingly in order to succeed.
