September 11 and Pearl Harbor

³I don¹t think it is an understatement to say that this is the second Pearl Harbor,² Senator Charles Hagel from Nebraska told the Los Angeles Times on September 11, 2001. Pearl Harbor, the sequel, erupted on September 11, 2001 when hijacked planes destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and parts of the west wing of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Borders into the United States were closed and the FAA shut down all airports across the nation. People all over the county woke up to what at first glance appeared to be video from a blockbuster Hollywood movie like ³Armageddon,² or ³Independence Day.² In reality, what we were watching was the horrendously real aftermath of the complete destruction of the World Trade Center towers. In recounting the events of 9/11 no one had any idea how bad it really was. Rather, people stayed glued to their television sets in hopes of a light at the end of the tunnel. What they received from the newscasters inside their televisions was confusion and disbelief. More than a month later we are still holding our breaths for some sort of a beam, even a small one. ³A huge fireball eruptedŠseconds later it became the attack heard Œround the world,² a New York city fire fighter told Christine Frey for her article in the New York Times on September 13, 2001. Since 9/11 the media has constructed its own Hollywood, its own Broadway, and built its own arena for the biggest show of ideology under one roof.

On September 11th, senator John McCain called...

...lenting now with new developments of Anthrax in our mail system, Americans are even more confused on how to obtain justice for the events of 9/11. We are living in a passive-aggressive time in that we want to punish those responsible yet we drop food along with the bombs. The government (through the media) transcodes to us that we want to get our hands dirty with the blood of those who took so many lives on 9/11 but, in reality, we are the ones who initially fueled the fire of Osama bin Laden by giving his organization weapons and training them to fight. How can we justify a war in Afghanistan when the culprits are not only in our own country but are Americans? When the smoke clears will we be able to tell if the administration was victorious in defeating the evildoers or will there be a price out on their heads as well?

    The Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941 was one of the deadliest terrorist attack in America, said in the article, USA People Search (2015). This attack would be considered a terrorist attack because it was an act of violence used against people. To destroy property and/or to terrify or persuade others. As we talk about the Pearl Harbor attack, it made me recall another terrorist attack that we all remember, which is 9/11. It’s been an attack where planes were hijacked and hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Also including Pennsylvania. This event was marked as the most fatal attack in America.

    Osama bin Laden was an adversary of the West for years and it was known to the whole world. Unfortunately, he took it a little further by having two planes fly into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and another plane possibly for the White House. As we all know, this is the unforgettable day of September 11, 2001. Thousands of Americans were innocently murdered that day and in our own country by a terrorist organization. The United States of America would not stand for this and rapidly sought out Osama Bin Laden for what he had done to us. This is the day that caused the United States to accelerate the search and destruction efforts of bin Laden. Soon after September 11th, the United States was very involved in Afghanistan in trying to find him.

    As this was a review of the chapter before our test, students overall did a good job applying the skills we have learned throughout this chapter. Every single one of my students can correctly identify a number based on the tens and ones, and can find the tens and ones of any given two digit number. I did not have any student fail to identify if a number was greater than or less than another number. In retrospect, I realized that during this lesson I placed very little emphasis on the greater than and less than signs themselves, but this was a large component of the independent practice work. Overall, I have been impressed with the learning progress my students made during this chapter. It was a quick chapter with only 5 lessons, but students moved quickly and comfortably through the content.

    There are many ways which help build rapport with children and young people. One of them is to ensure to actively listen to what they are saying. There may be times were you unintentionally brush aside what a child is saying perhaps it is because you are preoccupied or tired, however, even this can be enough to make a child feel unvalued. Being responded to appropriately reinforces a child's self-esteem. This will in turn help build a trusting relationship. Talking with children, asking and answering questions also helps build their language skills. If pupils are distressed and need to talk about it, they will more likely open up to the person who has made them feel that they have a voice. This is why it is very important to build a respectful and trusting relationship with students, as it can have an impact on most areas of development.

    The range of task environments that can be characterized by well - defined problems is vast. We can distinguish between so - called, toy problems, which are intended to illustrate or exercise various problem - solving methods, and so - called real - world problems, which tend to be more difficult and whose solutions people actually care about. In this section, we will give examples of both. By nature, toy problems can be given a concise, exact descri ption. This means that they can be easily used by different researchers to compare the performance of algorithms. Real - world problems, on the other hand, tend not to have a single agreed - upon description, but we will attempt to give the general flavor of t heir formulations.
