Darryl Vick Dennis Phillips Eng. 111, 4301 25 April 2014 The Effects of 9/11 The attacks that took place in New York’s Manhattan city, on September, 11th, 2001 had rippling effects that caused a great deal of controversy. The chaos of the two planes soaring through the two towers crippled the American economy. It also created numerous health issues. Social issues were at another alarming effect that the effects of 9/11 had on the U.S.A.
The september 11 attack 9/11 was one of the bad things that ever happen in America. It has changed America by putting fear and panic everywhere across the nation. It changed the way American travel, our military defense, the way we use energy. It changed the way American travel by putting fear in everybody’s head, obviously the effect of the tragedy on tourism and still can be felt today by higher travel cost, very strict security and safety check points and the formation of TSA (Travel Security Administration.) America’s military was changed too due to the effect of 9/11, after the attack in response to the tragedy, military forces has to be shipped in Afghanistan to hunt down those who were responsible of the attack here in American soil.
A day of chaos, confusion, and pure tragedy has left America and every American, whose day stopped on September 11th, 2001, permanently scarred. Clouds of thick, gray, debris-filled smoke engulfed downtown Manhattan shortly after two planes were hijacked and flown into the Twin Towers. The tragedy continued to shock the nation when a third plane crashed into the Pentagon and many were wondering if the attacks would ever end after a fourth plane plummeted to earth, crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. The emotions and thoughts that filled every American on that day are indescribable, but the effects 9/11 has had on today's society are rather easy to recognize. The 9/11 attacks on America have torn apart families, ostracized Muslims, and left
Long after the years where they had to fight for their land and their freedom (by the way, at the expense of the American Indians), they seem to have become completely paranoid. The September 11, 2001 tragedy did not help to invert that trend. So why is that so? The answer that Michael Moore is presenting in "Bowling for Columbine” is that Americans are being controlled by fears, oh, not their own, but fears actually instilled by repetitive and diverse media coverage. According to him, the constant spreading of fears of just about anything and anyone is benefiting some large corporations as well as the authorities in place.
While the scare is over terrorism rather than communism, the principle is the same. Out of this terror, paranoia, fear, and general discomfort, historians tend to draw a more positive light to shine through the darkness of the age. The terrorist attack on the twin towers on September 11th was one spark that started the fire against terrorism. People, primarily men of Middle Eastern descent are the new subjects of discrimination - in the eyes of the fear-ridden American they are possible terrorist threats. The country, just like in the 1950’s – nearly 60 years prior was, and is sold on fear.
The effectiveness of direct retaliation which involves the US led war on terrorism. After the 9/11 attacks many Americans had the view that the world changed forever. These attacks on the United States caused so much grief and hatred to those that perpetrated and were involved in the attacks that on October the 7th 2001 US and British troops invaded Iraq to seek and destroy those involved so that an attack on foreign soil of this magnitude does not happen again. The main impact for me this war has caused is that there are more people joining terrorist groups today because they don’t believe in what out governments are doing so they feel like joining the enemy is a good way to get what they want. At the moment with the current situation with
These were attacks that not only lead to the loss of a great many lives, but also embedded a new sense of fear in the hearts of Americans. The attacks of September 11th were the first attacks
I found his writing and thoughts very intriguing. Giovanni and many other authors write about the demographic disaster and how they viewed it. Any article, historian, or author will talk about how it severely impacted the economy, society, and pretty much everything and anything. These catastrophic events destroyed the country and people in it. The disaster
The Vietnam War affected both the social and political views of this nation. This war took one great nation and completely divided it in two. As shown by examples in this paper, the political and social changes were drastic enough and demonstrated by enough people that it was able to move an entire generation. Even today, the different views of the Vietnam War are seen in the way the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is viewed by many today: “ A somber reminder of the loss of too many young Americans, and of what the war did to the United States and its messianic belief in its own overweening virtue.” [ (Sitikoff, 1999)
of this magnitude. I was curious as to why anyone would hate the United States so much that they would want to cause want to kill thousands of innocent people. Even though it was still a complex issue to understand at that time, I did grasp that other places in the world simply didn’t like America because is we are “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” The days following September 11th really made me proud to be an American as all the stories poured in of all those that lost their lives trying to save others on that day. The whole country was united in a time of great turmoil. That date is to me what the John F. Kennedy assassination was to someone living in the 60s or what World War II was to those growing up in the
