About a month an a half after the tragic attacks the United States government passed a new law called the USA Patriot Act, signed by President at the time George W. Bush. The USA PATRIOT ACT is an acronym that stands for Uniting (and) Strengthening America (by) Providing Appropriate Tools Required (to) Intercept (and) Obstruct Terrorism Act (gpo.gov). The PATRIOT ACT posses a greater threat to American liberty than terrorism itself. This is true because the PATRIOT ACT gives the government undemocratic power that is immoral to society, it directly violates amendments and there have been actual cases where the PATRIOT ACT harmed innocent people and was used unsuccessfully. Firstly, if the government of the United States tried to pass the PATRIOT ACT of 2001 today, they would have a much tougher time.
Well, of course I was raging with fury at my first reaction. I reflected upon all my conversations that I had, and just imagined the great laugh that the NSA had over my calls. But after all, there must be some reason behind their actions. Despite that I’m mad about those guys overhearing my conversations, I guess we should all be happy that our government attempts on providing a secure place for all of us, in our great country. Perceiving the situation from the NSA’s point of view made me think outside the box for some time, though I’m still very mad… But being at this psychological state of mind will not lead anyone to a better thinking process.
The public however was more tolerant of alternativists who worked as stretcher bearers or did non-combat work. In WW2, the government was keen to allocate freedom of speech and expression as the war they were fighting against was due to the upheaval in Germany where there was a struggle of freedom. This struggle for liberty everywhere influenced the authorities to respect views of Cos. The tribunals were formed as representatives from all social classes and excluded any military members. The traumatic experiences from the previous war meant that more people became pacifists and consequently a greater number applied for exemption (over 50,000) and this time all but 12,000 were given exemption.
American industry must acknowledge the way that what they are doing can bring about some damage to individuals of the general public and lawsuits are coming one way or another. ” These kinds of cases have been brought against vaccine manufacturers for 100 years. The Vaccine Act of 1986 was not intended to displace those claims. And so we're talking about the very rare situation where an existing safer alternative existed, and it caused a harm that could have been
This significantly reduces the impact of an earthquake as the number of deaths and injury’s will decrease as building won’t collapse and crush people, roads will not be blocked so the emergency services can quickly get to casualties. In comparison the Armenia earthquake in 1988, where 25 000 deaths occurred, the poorly constructed buildings crumbled completely crushing thousands of people/cars. Both of these earthquakes measured 6.9 on the Richter scale. Developed countries also reduce the impact of disasters because they are always better connected. Richer societies that own televisions, radio’s and mobiles are able to communicate faster between each other and the rest of the world, so people are able to get out of buildings, emergency services can be alerted and rescue response programmes can begin.
The heroic first responders of the 9/11 attacks should be compensated. There are numerous reasons why the brave citizens who helped others during the 9/11 terror attack should receive some sort of compensation from the government. They went above and beyond their call of duty to help during one of the most horrific times in American history. People that aided the country during that time only had good intentions and did not expect to become sick or die. Courageous firefighters went inside the burning towers of the World Trade Center and saved many lives.
Everybody including myself, has shortfalls and have failed expectations, but in my opinion that is not reason to maliciously ignore, torture, or think of a race in a biased way simply because of their looks, dialect, or descent. Our generation should not make opinions on a race as a whole based on their prior personal experiences. However, unfortunately people do. Most recently I have seen friends putting down the Iraqi and Iranian races as a whole because the countries are well known for terroristic activity. However, this really gets to me, as I have met both Iranians and Iraqi’s who are on fire for God meaning enthusiastic and loves him with all their hearts.
We can control our own actions whether they are right or wrong and be held accountability for them. We can teach others from right and wrong. We cannot control the actions of others even if they are good, but we can definitely hold them accountability for the wrong actions. Having more information about the timeline and events of 9-11 makes me wonder if the President would have acted on some of the information would so many people have died that day. President George W. Bush declared, “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America.
However, there are some philosophies and schools of thought which, when applied to the issue, are more likely to lead one to gain a more thorough understanding of why the action was unethical and should not have been committed. Among these are utilitarianism, Immanuel Kant’s Duty Theory, the definition of terrorism, the Just War Theory, and absolute pacifism. One of the most common philosophical justifications for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan is utilitarianism, arguing that using the nuclear weapons saved more lives in the long run and ultimately reduced the suffering of the greatest number of people. Those that follow this utilitarian rationale support their opinion by using the notion that if the United States had not dropped the bombs, they would have had to invade Japan, which would have resulted in many more American casualties. However, before dropping the bombs, General MacArthur had estimated that about 31,000 American casualties would occur by invading Japan, and calculated that even fewer American lives would be lost by continuing with conventional bombing on Japan and establishing a naval blockade, eventually forcing Japan’s surrender within six months (CSIS.org).
Controversies of oil or political control are only some of the reasons citizens assume is the reason. Despite these facts, a majority of the United States population agree that the Iraq War is not neccesary. The United States White House and the Bush administration assure the citizens that they are trying their best to complete the Iraq War, and return the soldiers back to their homes. Through the recent surge of reinforcements in Iraq, the government state that this is essential to ending the war faster. But carnage the surge has caused, the war has been made longer instead of shorter.
