The Effects Of The 9 / 11 Attack And The Boston Marathon Bombing

This event happened on April 15, 2013 in Boston Massachusetts. Two brothers by the names of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev decided to place two pressure cooker bombs amidst the crowd of marathon runners. Only two seconds apart, the two bombs went off along the finish line on Boylston Street. Leading up to the event there was the conflict in the middle east, which is

The 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center have had a large impact on my opinion about the amount of trust people deserve. When I first heard that the reason the planes had collided with the towers was a terrorist attack, being very young at the time I did not understand how the country could let

The study looked at three different Boston neighborhoods, Back Bay, the South End, and Jamaica Plains.

The attack claimed the lives of many, and the effects of this attack were devastating, affecting people from all over the world. The attack showed the world that there was a need for better airport security not only in the USA, all over the world as well, and that is just what the result of the attack was. Along with better security, there was also a great need for anti-terrorism laws, to deter these acts from re-occurring. After the attack, airport and border security was

Terrorism is a major criminal act that effects a mass majority of people. Terrorism can be anything. Former terrorism acts include the Oklahoma City bombing, the major September 11th attacks on the world trade center, and one of the most recent terrorist acts being the Boston Marathon bombing. Terrorism does not discriminate. Anyone can be a victim of a terrorist attack. This statement is proven true in the multiple accounts of Terrorism going on in the Middle Eastern countries, however America also

Even though the town of Laramie was obviously negatively affected, the murder also forced the people of the community to realize their problems and to talk about it. This shows how a community suffering the effects of a disaster can also turn it into a reason to change themselves for the better. Although a traumatic event can bring hardship to the people it affects, the community can bring from that tragedy positive changes such as addressing and working on
