Many People are still affected emotionally by September 11 2001 today. A huge number of people are still facing mental health issues. They are trying very hard to forget about the past and move on with there every day life. Many still fear that there might be another terror attack in the United States.

The name of those who died at the WTC, pentagon, and in Pennsylvania aboard flight 93 . The Museum presents a gallery that tells the story of 9/11. It contains artifacts, photographs and multimedia display.

On the day of the attacks, New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani proclaimed, "We will rebuild. We're going to come out of this stronger than before, politically stronger, and economically stronger. The skyline will be made whole again." The damaged section of the Pentagon was rebuilt and occupied within a year of the attacks. The temporary World Trade Center PATH station opened in late 2003 and construction of the new 7 World Trade Center was completed in 2006. One World Trade Center is currently under construction at the site and at 1,776 ft. upon completion in 2013, will become the tallest building in North America. On the World Trade Center site, three more office towers are expected to be built one block east of where the original towers stood. Construction has begun on all three of these towers; they are expected to be completed after One World Trade Center.

On the New York skyline once stood a set of towers known as the World Trade Center and nicknamed the Twin Towers. After the attacks on a normal routine morning in New York City, those towers were no longer there. After several years of planning and designing, a new tower now stands and has been labeled One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower. In the shadow of the recently completed tower are two reflecting pools that were once the foundation of the fallen towers. During the design process and upon completion a public opinion arose with some saying, “building this tower means the terrorists won.” Others say it’s a symbolism for rebirth and moving forward. After visiting New York, watching the building process of the new

As Kelly Anderson’s Foreign Policy Analyst, the following memo will address three areas of the United States’ foreign policy. The U.S. has gone through may transition when it comes to its foreign policy. The United States has been an isolationist, neutralist, and internationalist country from the year it was founded to now. The executive branch and the president apply their power to influence and change the nation’s foreign policy. There are specific departments within the Executive Office of the President (EOP) created to assist the president in his or her process. Political context and historical events have occurred to prove why intervening with another country’s issues does not benefit the national interest and why isolationism is a better system for this country. Hopefully, the memo will accomplish informing what the foreign policy is, was, and should be.

The United States foreign policy is an interaction between the United States and foreign nations. Foreign policy sets standards on how different organizations, corporations, and individual citizens should interact with one another. Some Americans believe the United States should remain withdrawn from the affairs of foreign countries, but other Americans believe the United States should involve itself in the affairs of foreign countries. In 1796, George Washington included these words in his farewell address, “steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” These words from George Washington shaped the foreign policy of the United States for over a century.

The foreign policy of the United States determines how America conducts relations with other countries. It is designed to further certain goals such as promoting world peace and a secure global environment and working with allies to solve international problems. It seeks to assure America’s security and defense, and the power to protect our national interests which shapes foreign policy and covers a wide range of political, economic, military, and humanitarian concerns.

In 1968 construction began. It took about five years to complete and the towers were opened to the public in 1973. The Twin Towers were instant icons. At 1,368 feet tall, the World Trade Center was the tallest building in the world until the Sears (Willis) tower was built in 1973. In august 1974, Philippe Petit walked across a tight wire between the two towers. It was 130 feet across and 1368 feet above the ground. This accomplishment made him a hero. As soon as he stepped back onto the roof of the south tower, Petit was arrested. He was then ordered to perform a free show for children in Central Park. February 1975, a fire broke out on the eleventh floor. Some were injured but no one died. The eleventh floor was destroyed and others above it.

Three of bushes assumptions changed as a result of 9/11, his administration moved to a more universal approach. It moved from narrowing American national interests to broadening to combat international terrorism. Second, it moved away from narrow defined unilateralism to a greater multilateralism. President Bush threatened to act unilaterally, if multilateral support did not come, much as the war against Iraq would demonstrate. Third, the administration moved from its reliance on a stark realism in foreign policy to a version of idealism that was clearly concerned with the internal dynamics of some states. The Bush administration’s foreign policy identified its emphasis by three focuses. First it would defend the peace against terrorists. Second,

Early plan of one Tower of the Brooklyn Bridge (Fig. 3). The two massive towers were made by stone masonry. The height of the towers is 276 feet (84 meters) above the water. The two towers were designed to be bulk and high enough to perform important purposes. The towers will hold the weight of the cables that were to be threaded. They are able to sustain a massive downward pressure of the cables as they distributed over the top of towers. The towers act as supports to hold up the cables and the weight of the roadway.

The World Trade Center was a global icon of The United States of America. The tallest of the buildings was over 1,300 feet high (10). With such large buildings, the materials used in construction needed to meet certain standards just to successfully stand erect. The design intent has the biggest factor for the material selection. In the World Trade Centers, the materials were supposed to meet certain properties and requirements. The analysis of whether or not the World Trade Center buildings were built to requirements will be discussed.

David Childs, the lead architect, and Daniel Libeskind, the master planner, also made major contributions to the design of One World Trade Center (Sanburn). Since a memorial for the original Twin Towers was built where they stood, One World Trade Center will not occupy the same land as the Twin Towers (Yoneda).“Taking heed of every structural and safety failure of the Twin Towers, developers carefully designed the new tower to be the safest office building in the world.” One World Trade Center will employ 69 floors of office space (O’Connell). Which makes One World Trade Center the tallest office-only building in the world (Yoneda). One World Trade Center’s observation deck begins at 1,362 feet and has a glass parapet to 1,368 feet, a direct memory of the Twin Towers. Another part of One World Trade Center that has a special meaning is the total height of the building, which is 1,776 feet, a reference to the year the United States declared its independence from the United Kingdom
