The World Trade Center And Pentagon Attacks

The attacks of 9/11 affected the United States by increasing discrimination, endangering the health of many Americans, hurting the economy and changing foreign and security policies.

There are many different opinions as to what is true when it comes to religion. All over the globe, many diverse cultures look up and pray to a variety of gods or perhaps none whatsoever. Yet, how does one define what is existent? What is truly divine and worthy of the utmost worship and praise? As humans, we are limited to fully comprehending and understanding exactly who God is and what the afterlife looks like. This paper will discuss the aspects of the Christian faith viewing God, humanity, Jesus, Restoration and the Christian Worldview, as well as, a reflection of what I believe in my own personal life.

The 9/11 attacks opened the avenue for a scrutiny of the performance and ability of the intelligence community to detect any threats to the safety of the United States. The media, politicians, reformists and other interested parties would not comprehend how such an attack would happen without the knowledge of the intelligence community. However, it is important to consider the fact that the attack was one of its kind and could not be approached with the resources and expertise used in other initiative such as the cold war. Therefore, the need to restructure the intelligence community arose from the view that it was still operating in the mindset and spirit of the cold war even in the modern era that had seen a revolutionary change of warfare

The 9/11 terrorist attacks by al qaeda profoundly impacted the daily lives of Americans by changing our culture, politics and economy. The 9/11 attacks caused the U.S. to heighten security at airport to prevent terrorists from using planes as missiles in the future. This effect can still be seen today with the TSA and the extensive security scan/search that everyone has to go through. This adds a significant amount of time that you have travel as the TSA recommends that you show up two hours before your flight depart for its destination(tsa.gov).

The attacks of 9/11 was an act of terrorism that happened in New York. Two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, one into the Pentagon in Virginia, and another one crashed into a field in Pennsylvania intended to strike in Washington D.C. Three thousand civilian lives were lost that day. It was said by Al-Qaeda group, Osama Bin Laden that the purpose of 9/11 terror was to take revenge for the United States. The typical morning which turned out the historical tragedy terror in the world, created victims by the terror, that have disturbed the peace everyone in the world. It was the start of revenge from United States to Al-Qaeda.

The 9/11 attacks provided new insights to security agencies, especially in their role of detecting and thwarting terrorist activities. Of particular interest was the association of various racial groups, especially those from the Muslim community with terrorism. Therefore, security agencies invested in isolating these racial groups as suspects of terrorism due to their associated connection with terrorism. However, this racial profiling cannot be justified as a counterterrorism measure since it is a flawed line of reasoning. For instance, it is not always the case that some racial groups are always responsible for terrorism. In fact, the 9/11 events would not have been possible without collaborators inside the United States who are not necessarily

To the public eye, the 9/11 attacks were unprecedented and the overwhelming fear swarmed the nation. Across the nation families, businessmen, students, as well as every other member of society witnessed the emergency news broadcasting the video of the planes flying into the Twin Towers. This attack had especially affected those with loved ones living in New York and this fear manifested itself into our daily lives and those living in metropolitan areas feared a second terrorist attack. However, hope had reappeared in the form of unified forces including first-responders, medical teams, as well as local and international groups working together to provide aid and comfort to the victims and their families. Despite staring at the face of danger,

There are many important events in American history. Between the roaring twenties and the Wild West there is so much to choose from. One of the most recent and most tragic events in American history were the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Hundreds of lives were lost, leading to extreme reformation of the United States surveillance and homeland security systems. The 9/11 terrorist attack was an important event in America’s history that has had lasting effects on American society.

God is breathing on us a new breath, a new song for us to sing out into the world, the song of Hope, and Forgiveness. He has prepared to go before us as a fire, that will consume all of our enemies who try and stop us.

The 9 / 11 attack on the world trade center proves to be one of the most documents events in history. The actual footage caught on the cameras can bring a person to tears. Four airplanes were hijacked and two of the planes were crashed in each building causing them both to collapse. Each plane was carrying ten thousand gallons of jet fuel. Most of the acknowledgements I have seen growing up focus on mainly the people who were inside the building at the time of the collapse. Family and friends being called by love ones who knew they were not going to make it out the building alive. The graphic footage of watching people jump out the windows, so they would not burn to death by the two thousand degree flames pulls tremendously

Introduction Dr. Christopher J. H. Wright (Ph. D., Cambridge) is an Old Testament scholar, an ordained Anglican ministry, and is the director of international ministries with the Langham Partnership International. In Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament, Wright seeks to display the continuity between the Hebrew Scriptures and Jesus’ self-understanding. Wright maintains that Jesus’ self-understanding rooted in the history of salvation that God planned and worked for Israel. This review will show that Wright’s book provides the reader with a rich understanding of Jesus’ unique identity as the Hebrew

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the downing of an airplane by passengers on September 11, 2001 left many Americans reeling with fear and feeling vulnerable. The American people no longer felt safe and protected on their homeland soil. It was a violation of security that united not only the American people, but countries around the world. Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, then President, George W. Bush, proposed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Prior to this proposal, the responsibility to protect the nation’s security fell to over 100 different government agencies. Not one of these agencies saw homeland security as their primary goal. The newly created

This is very similar at how other American citizens were willing to help after the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. Christopher Peterson and Nansook Park, writers of A Positive Psychology Perspective On Post-9/11 Security, says, “Our ongoing study of character strengths has found that post-9/11, people reported that they were more likely to display the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity”(Peterson). Which is a clear reminder of how people acted during and after 9/11. As a small example of how Americans went on that day to help each other James Johnson, the editor of Community Preparedness and Response to Terrorism, writes, “At that moment of great national peril… hundreds of firefighters and police officers courageously sacrificed their lives rescuing survivors at the World Trade Center; …and millions of Americans line up to donate blood, supplies, and money to assist in the rescue efforts”(Johnson 163). This aspect of that day reminds us how many heroes were made just in that effort to help out. Every ounce of blood donated and every last run firefighters and police officers alike, made to go into those tumbling towers to save at least one more person will not be forgotten. It was a heroic act to overcome fear and to do the littlest of this to help the victims. This is greatly reflected in Let the Great World Spin just by how Gloria takes in Jazzlyn’s children. As she sees them being dragged into the social workers car and is asked if she knows the kids, she

On September 11, 2001 there was a major occurrence that changed New York City. It all started with four hijacked planes that took off at 8:45am on a Tuesday morning. As those planes took off, and were hijacked, they took down a major economic building, The World Trade Center. The Twin Towers were the key success to The World Trade Center complex, the North Tower stood at 1,268 feet and The South Tower stood at 1,362 feet high. The tallest buildings in New York City held 35,000 people each, along with 430 companies. This created an economic target, as each building represented economic power and freedom. The attack on the World Trade Center created an impact on the financial standing of America, a loss resulting in billions to the airline industry, increased spending due to domestic security and the constructing of a federal agency, Homeland Security. All of these were results of the tragic attack on September 11 on the US economy. The World Trade Center was a sign of freedom and economic power in America, there were many companies along with workers that suffered a tragic loss on this day making them lose their company along with workers as well. As the aftermath of September 11 progressed the US economy began to suffer as a result.

The attack on the World Trade Center was not the first attack and was not the first time the US Intelligence Community had heard of Al-Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden. The role of counterintelligence from both sides the US and Al-Qaeda, lent to the information flow not only form the attackers but also to the ones who would ultimately respond. The FBI, the CIA, the DIA, have integral parts in these series of events from the information collection to the information flow. In a time where it was realized that Counterintelligence and Counterterrorism have a similar need, as well as information sharing across agencies, have led to the CI and IC we see today.
