Ever since September 11th, there has been poor judgment and treatment toward people of Middle Eastern descent. From hate crimes and racial profiling, to maybe being denied some of their rights as well. In the article “Obama defends plan to build mosque near ground zero,” there is controversy to whether Muslims should be allowed to build a mosque near ground zero. The first amendment of the United States Constitution grants freedom of religion; therefore, Muslims have every right to build a mosque near ground zero. Although the 911 attacks were made by Islamic terrorists, the whole Muslim community shouldn’t be punished.
When the atom bombs were dropped most of the cities in the radius of the blast were leveled. Many people died of radiation sickness, some people got flash burns, and some had the horrible fate of vaporizing into thin air in the blink of an eye. The atomic bombing killed millions of people.

In the images I chose for my Square of Hope, they all symbolize what comes to mind when I talk about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The first image is the twin towers, after being hit by the aircraft that was hijacked. I recall September 11th, 2001 as being a sad day. I could feel the mixed emotions of the kids in my class and also the teachers as we heard the news on the TV and the intercoms. Although I was too young to understand why the towers were bombed, I was still able to comprehend that this had been a horrible attack against the U.S.
The americans that weren't in the attack, they lost their loved ones. Many innocent americans died because of this bombing. the bombing of pearl harbor would change how the american citizens and government viewed war and
This is a large number by anyone's account, whether it is dollars, days, or human lives. How could one measure the significance of six million lives, it would be impossible to. Certain groups of people lost their homes, property, freedom, dignity, and life for being something different from the Nazis. As a result of the Holocaust, millions of men, women, and children of various national, ethnic, and social backgrounds died or had their lives impacted forever.

Drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, self-injury; all self-harm devices teenagers take part in to escape the pressure to be perfect. We all strive for that one goal, never realizing that it’s unobtainable. We never see the destruction we cause in the process of reaching that goal; we only see the imperfections that must be destroyed in order to obtain that flawlessness. 46% of all teenagers in the United States engage in some form of self-injury. Everyone has their own reasons, mine was because of the hatred I had for myself, I didn’t like one part of my body, and I thought I was stupid.
The Impact of Education And Being Enlightened During The Process In the last few years I have gone through some major life altering experiences. Everything from losses that were important; including a loved one, a long friendship, gainful employment and a serious illness which affected one of my sources of income, loss of hopes and dreams.

These traumatic events caused more distress for me than I could ever imagine.
Within the first four months after the bombings, thousands of other Japanese citizens lost their lives due to complications from burns, radiation poisoning, and other injuries. It is estimated that between 180,000 to 230,000 people, mostly civilians, died during and after the use of the atomic bombs. From the day after to 70 years later the bombings have been a major topic of discussion and debate between philosophers and scholars alike.
