Today's Society In The Aftermath Of 9/11

September 11, 2001 was a day that devastated our nation and changed the lives of every American in some way.These terrorist attacks would ignite many changes in the lives of United State citizens.The U.S. government implemented a series of critical immigration policy measures,such as heightened airport security,increased funding,removing criminals,and turning police officers into immigration agents to respond to future threats of terrorism.In this paper we will examine how the attacks contributed to different factors.

Where were you when you heard about 9/11? When you hear about a traumatic event, time seems to stop. Most people remember every detail of their surroundings. Imagine living and breathing in a traumatic event.

While these authors are divided on the definition of “one nation” they all recognize the major issues that affect our nation today. Despite Brooks’ muddled representation of the socio-economic and political divide in the United States, the author made one important point – that despite the differences among the entire population, Americans share the “same love” for their nation (Brooks 541). The notion of loyalty to the country may be an idealistic one. However, it clearly represents what factor or element unites Americans as a people. Even outside the American context, people should no longer be categorized as part of Red or Blue America, but a part of a truly diverse country where differences are observed in “cohesive” communities (Brooks

American culture is portrayed throughout the world as being fat lazy people who sit around all day and eat McDonald’s. Our way of viewing others isn’t any better, we tend to stereotype cultures all over the world. Since 9/11 it has lead a negative impact on how we view anyone looking prominently from the Middle East, we connect them to terrorist. It’s something planted in our heads that people can’t seem to get rid of. Since it’s such a huge deal, should countries adopt policies that limit cultural imperialism in order to preserve cultures?

What have been different in my community since 9/11, nothing has changed. On September 11, 2001, I was in week one of basic training. The moment was very emotional because many soldiers did not know if their family were safe. I remember being at the airport going home for Christmas during basic, I had to be searched because I had my uniform on. I really felt unease about the entire situation. My community wasn’t effected by 9/11, maybe because it was a small community or many individuals did not realize the impact of 9/11 and how it affected

Getting on an airplane for the first time is an exhilarating experience and something that will never be forgotten. As the planes take off that apprehensive feeling in the stomach as the plane leaves the ground, but everything is okay. Until you hear a scream and look towards the back of the plane and see three big men with guns and masks over their faces heading for the cockpit of the plan. How were they able to do this and why, so many questions but no time for answers. Security is something that is always changing and will never stop. People exploiting their freedom and creating tragedies creates a need for security. The September 11th terrorist attacks changed the life of every US citizen by increasing National Security.

The pursuit for peace, optimism and tranquility are the ultimate desires of the human race. It is a placid emotional state that is individually subjective, however there are a few people who endeavor savagery, injustice and cruelty. These iniquities create increasing acts of terrorism. On September 11th, 2001 one of the worst terrorist attacks occurred in New York City as two hijacked planes were flown into the World Trade centres. Ultimately taking over 6000 lives and injuring the minds of Americans. Fifteen years later the interpretation of this event has not changed drastically in regards to how it was first presented.

    Few people would take issue with the statement that America faces monumental challenges both to its own well-being as well as to its self-imposed duty to become "a more perfect union". Over the years, many speakers, authors, and dreamers have used the dirty facts of this nation's (and its predecessors') seemingly unrepentant capitalism, paternalism, belligerence, and tendency toward cultural assimilation to declare the entire enterprise bankrupt and to focus, not on where, exactly, the USA went wrong, but instead on what the truly ideal civilization would look like. They have created, in speech or on paper, entire realms of happiness and harmony, free of injustice,

America, the land of opportunity, always develops to differ in meaning, whether it represents freedom, equality, injustice, violence, or discrimination. America holds no uniform

For this assignment I reviewed “Life After 9/11” in the journal Fortnight (Life, 2002). This article took a similar “narrative” approach to that of the op-ed piece from the last assignment by Hunter S. Thompson (Thompson, 2001), instead of a news-specific approach (Litsky, Williams 2001) in that the article’s main point is to convey an emotional “side” or “story” over the “happenings” or strictly “news” of events. Similar to Thompson’s article “Fear and Loathing in America” this article makes specific future predictions and assumptions based on emotional opinions.

The President-Elect Donald Trump ran his presidential campaign with the slogan ‘Make America Great Again,’ but according to Jon Stewart, a media critic and former host of The Daily Show, no one really asked Mr. Trump that what makes America great? In an interview titled ‘The Trump Effect’ with the CBS News, Stewart answered the posed question that it is “America’s multi-ethnic and multicultural democracy” and the idea of “collectivism” what makes America “an anomaly in the world” (November 2017). America, the new world, was built by freedom seekers who just couldn’t fully use their God given strength as their homelands were becoming chaotic and without any opportunities. In order to pursue their dreams, they voyaged across the oceans for years and connected the other side to the rest of the world. Mostly from Europe, these immigrants settled in the barren parts of the new land which is known as the United States of America today where according to the writer J Hector St. John de Crevecoeur “…individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men…” and every individual is “…an American, who leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds…” (RRA 568).

I choose this topic because I want to point out how 9/11 impact America Society and Economic because it’s one the greatest attack on America soil. This topic can be helpful to America government to help to serve as a reference tool to upkeep the Air Security and control terrorist in the country. This event was a turning point in American history which killed over 2,000 people. This topic is important because it will show how a nation that once treated air security like caretakers work into a country that took air security to a whole new level.

Many people consider the United States to be the melting pot of culture compared to other countries because of our heavily diverse population. To some the diversity within the United States makes it seem like an improbable idea, but despite these differences, somehow the U.S. is able to function and stay united throughout the many years following the country’s birth. The way the country is able to flourish through being united through havoc that occurs and through influential leaders while being thought to be an inconceivable proposal.

In the article by Galtung, it looks at the world after 9/11. The author discusses three discourses which are terrorism, state terrorism, and retaliation. The first one which is terrorist discourse is more inspired by fundamentalist Islam, the shahadah and the sword. The second is more of a fundamentalist U.S. version. The third looks at more why 9/11 happen as parts of a retaliation cycle and to use that revenge for other purposes. There is a global clash of fundamentalism and in a way it is about violence.

A nation is only as good as the people who comprise it. In regards to the United States, tragedy permeates the nation when its citizens decide to conform to the standards imposed by the majority. As a multitude of Americans alter themselves to fit in and be accepted, their individuality floats away into the abyss. Nevertheless, the process of conforming may not always be such a bad thing. Conforming gives Americans the ability to connect to species that holds immense value. A species greater than anything they could have ever became while isolated. Now, although humans unconsciously conform to the standards of others, this process of conforming is detrimental to all Americans as it diminishes a person's self identity along with their true life's purpose.
