a. 9/11 changed how we all viewed the world. The safety that was once felt is no longer taken for

While 9/11 was a very important moment in the lives of many Americans, not many realize the direct impact this tragedy has had on their lives, and their country. For one, 9/11 greatly changed America’s involvement in wars. It also completely changed the way airport security works in America. Finally, 9/11 caused the American government to begin collecting significantly more data from its citizens, something which has been quite unpopular with the American populace. No matter how you look at it, 9/11 has left a permanent mark on America.

On September 11th, a tragedy happened when almost 3500 people died from a terrorist attack. One thing that did not change after this was the way America held itself together. Something devastating had happened but they still managed to push through it and come out strong. As well, the support that American's and other places around the world gave each other are still strong today. When someone is in need, we all come together no matter where they are in the world, this never changes. Lastly, people did not stop using airplanes because of this attack. They still continued to use airplanes to travel around

The aftermath has resulted in many changes in daily life, whether it be any form of travel or monotonous and routine activities, like boarding the subway or walking into a school. A positive outcome of 9/11 is the improvement in security which may seem like a burden at times, but the end result is to keep the citizens safe. Although America has not been the same since, the tragic events that occurred on September 11th, 2001 has left a lasting mark on the citizens of the United States and resulted in changes in the everyday lives of our country, making us a safer country that is more unified than

Most people around the world enjoy sporting events. These events are considered great entertainment options. So what does professional baseball, football, basketball, and most other companies around the United States have in common? If you guessed Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA), Unions, arbitration and strikes/work stoppages you are absolutely correct. In the coming paragraphs, labor relations within the world of sports will be discussed from their unions to how collective bargaining agreements effect both the players and the owners. What is a Collective Bargaining Agreement?

9/11 is one of the first memories many of us have. The panic. The terror. How the country recoiled and reformed in response to the terrorist attack that was unwarrented. Everything has changed since that day. Things such as airport security, government, and anti-Islamic violence.

The attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11 was the worst terrorist attack in U. S. history. Prior to 9/11, the U.S. had dealt with intermittent attacks on American soil with limited experience on emergency preparedness. Since 9/11, Homeland security was formed within the next year with a goal to safeguard the country against future terrorist attacks. The United States was faced with additional challenges other than just providing a response plan to terrorist attacks. There has been a debate if the United States is better prepared or is in the same position as before the 9/11 attack.

The safety of American citizens was extremely questioned in the years following 9/11. Most Americans believed that the country was completely safe and secure. However, 9/11 brought the reality that we are not completely free at all. In return, this created mass national confusion as to why someone didn't like the United States. Because of safety concerns, a more vulnerable society was fashioned. Citizens felt unprotected, scared, and bare of security. Thanks to departments and programs such as the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security, safety was reinstated. Another unfortunate social impact was the diagnosing of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Doctors found a sharp rise in the number of PTSD patients post-9/11 with loved ones, firefighters, bystanders, police officers, Trade Center Workers, and many others. Most patients were found to be involved with “Ground Zero”, or, the area in which the towers had collapsed. At least 10,000 people exposed to the terrorist attack have been found to have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an extreme psychological damage to society. Roughly 4.3 billion dollars has been spent treating this disorder through the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. “The terrorist attacks of 9/11 have brought a substantial and enduring burden of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder on those people who lost loved ones, as well as firefighters and recovery workers.” - Yuval Neria, Laura

The United States is a very sport minded nation and that when large sports events such as the Super Bowl, World Series, the Daytona 500, and any of the large golf and tennis events, many of the viewers will be swayed by what they see on the television.

Over the past 14 years we have grown as a nation, we have become stronger and more prepared since the dark day that was September 11th 2001. On that date was the most memorable and talked about events in modern day society. It’s a day that will go down in infamy and can never be absolved from our memories. The fact of the matter is that we were never truly prepared for something so heinous and evil, we never really expected anything like that could ever occur, were we ever wrong. We have been expecting the worst to happen ever since, security has been amped up and strengthened to make sure nothing like that can ever happen again.

This day impacted our nation and communities. 9/11 made us aware that anything bad could happen like this again, so we became a more secure nation. Especially at airports, we have scanners, police dogs, and extra security to check every passenger before boarding a plane.

The wealthy is showing off their power just like they did during the gladiator era. These athletes put their lives at risk to put on a good show for their sponsors. These athletes are put on display to show dominance by setting up events to prove who is the best team in the nation, such as the Super

September 11, 2001 marked the most horrific day in history for United States of America. The events of this day changed the lives of those residing in America forever. United States was considered somewhat safe, in regards to terrorists’ attacks. However, this all came to a screeching halt when 19 militants known to be a part of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group hijacked four planes for the purpose of destroying targeted areas in the United States. As a result of the deadly attack on the United States, security measures drastically changed. Although, security measures throughout the United States have been in place, extreme caution came into effect. All departments looked at different measures to improve preventing terrorists’ attacks.

A very popular and large sporting event that receives an extremely high volume of national media coverage is the Olympic Games. For a number of years, major stations like NBC has provided audiences with an around the clock coverage of the Games. Many other major medias similar to NBC have also done the same by devoted sections solely to the Olympic Games. The Olympics is a time where citizens come together to root for their home country, strengthening their sense of nationalism and pride and cheering for their home athletes to come out victoriously and the country as a powerhouse of the world. Organically, the games give off a sense of war like mentality because countries are competing against each other for the prize, the gold metal.

Sports event management is the management of the participation of people to an organized time limited event. Events showcase to the public the image of a given sport and its teams hence it is crucial that a favorable image during major events be portrayed. The importance of event organizing is reflected in the move taken by many local authorities to appoint event officers in their respective departments (Watt, 2003). Even in small local authoritative organization at least one person will have event management as their job role, this is largely due to their relevance to sports event management (Watt, 2003). Sports events are not just organized for all the obvious reasons, they are sometimes held to feel the market, used by politicians for publicity, to set up market, create public awareness and so on. It has also been used in the UK to encourage urban development as money gets invested in the market where the event is held (Watt, 2003). A well thought sports event is an incentive to organizers, participants, and owners of teams. In addition to this the venue, funding, time table, selection of people, and evaluation of event also need to be decided upon (Watt, 2003).

Evidently, sport events have been used by regimes to promote tourism and economic growth within the host region (Dobson, 2000). As previously mentioned, the desire to host such events is often associated with city regeneration and the perceived economic benefits (Getz, 2005; Hall, 2004; Misener & Mason, 2008 Misener & Mason, 2009). In the United States, the media often reports most international sport events as having significant positive impacts (Wilson, 2006). Nonetheless, the magnitude of the event’s impacts, either positive or negative, are often dependent on the event’s size (Taks, Kesenne, Chalip, Green, & Martyn, 2011). Large events are often thought to attract media attention, investment and subsequent economic growth; however, they are also associated with negative impacts such as the disruption of local businesses, crowding out effects and overspending. Solberg and Pruess (2007) noted that regional economic benefits are sometimes lost due to the large expenditures on event-related infrastructure. Negative impacts associated with small or medium-sized events may not be as apparent due to the relative low cost compared to large events (Mondello and Rishe, 2004). According to Gratton, Dobson and Shibli (2000) sport events can be categorized as either type A, B, C or D. Type A events such as the Olympic games are one-off, international mega events that are perceived to have a significant economic impact and attract mass media attention. For the purposes of this
