Pers Soc Psychol Bull, Vol. 30 no. 6, pg. 743-756. http://psp.sagepub.com/content/30/6/743.short This Article tested hypotheses generated from an integrative model of political tolerance that derived hypotheses from a number of different social psychological theories to explain political tolerance following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Value affirmation, moral outrage, and outgroup derogation also facilitated post-9/11 psychological closure and increased psychological closure led to greater political tolerance.
There are many examples of Americans exacting horrific and violent terror against its own citizens. Jeffery Dahmer, Jim Jones, Timothy McVeigh and the list goes on and on. I think this says a lot about the mental state that we are in as Americans. It is a sad fact that the relations between the Arab world and the western world seem to be just a far apart now as they were 12 years ago when the towers
n the weeks following September 11, 2001, federal, state and local law enforcement officials investigated those responsible for the September 11 attacks during which nearly 3,000 people died. They assessed the United States's vulnerability to future acts of terrorism. Investigations showed the suspects of the crime to be of Middle Eastern origin. In the wake of the September 11 attacks, US officials responded to the fears of air travelers by reinforcing security. Despite more thorough investigation ofbaggage and increased security staffing, there were so many vast open spaces, exits and entrances at airport hubs that prevention of incidents was problematic.
Kristine Case Jody Waters COMM 200, Term Paper December 9, 2013 The Many Colors of Katrina Discrimination, racism, and prejudice are alive and well in the world today. As we learn more about intercultural communication, it becomes more imperative to study these terms and how they relate to, and interact with one another, and how they shape the way humans interact and communicate with one another. In this essay I will discuss how stereotyping leads to prejudice and racism, which then leads to discrimination. More specifically, this essay will focus on how prejudice, racism, and discrimination played a role in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Since Hurricane Katrina touched down in New Orleans, there have been allegations of racism in the government’s response, on the one hand, and denials that race played any role at all, on the other hand.
Other questions that I will also talk about are how to reduce ethical problems in an investigation, what prosecution problems could arise and what ethical issues are related to the prosecution. What are the specific ethical considerations that need to be addressed when investigating the specific crime? When an investigator is investigating a rape, he or she would need to be very sympathetic and try to understand that the victim is going through a horrific incident. The investigator must be very careful when asking the victim questions about the rape and the suspect/suspects and not to assume anything. This information could be used as evidence later when it goes to trial in court.

People most of the time look back in history when a tragic event happens for an event that was similar to compare it to for example 9/11. They were both attacks on the citizens of the Unites States. Moreover, the brothers’ histories are being examined
Abstract: This research aims to identify causes of terrorism that are consistent across several divergent movements at the macro-systematic level. By identifying root causes that can explain terrorism, and their flow, regardless of differing backgrounds, this research attempts to outline methods by which policy can be crafted that aid in the identification of potential terrorism as well as the reduction of the threat of terrorist movement generation. This piece was completed through the qualitative analysis of case studies of several terrorist organizations as well as general research literature germane to the topic. The research has revealed that, despite different time periods, cultures, and ideologies, the precipitation of terrorism requires a society spanning problem necessitating rectification which leads to the revelation that the political system in place is inadequate to fulfill this demand which ultimately leads to people adhering to radical ideologies to enact the change they wish to see. Also, it is found that ideologies only come into play once longstanding grievances have been established.
