On September 11, 2001, Osama Bin Ladin executed the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. The attack killed over 2,900 people, and since then America has changed in many ways. One example is the phobia people now have against people of Middle-Eastern decent or people that practice the Islamic religion. Since people think differently of these groups, they do not treat them with the respect they give to other people. They can be denied jobs, education, housing because of their religion and/or their Middle Eastern background. Another example on how America has changed since 9/11, is the airport security has grown largely. The new change can impact many travelers, as well it spends a lot of the American government’s money. After 9/11 many people thought, people that come from Middle-Eastern decent or people that practice the Islamic region were looking to harm America. It changed these people’s lives and their futures. When someone is looking to get a job, housing or even education, first impressions are crucial. Since people look at them differently they can be denied all of these necessities. If someone is not granted these necessities, it is not fair but more importantly it can be hard to make an adequacy living. In …show more content…
To help insure that no other terrorist attack happens again, the government funded a new agency called the Department of Homeland Security. Under the Department of Homeland Security is a branch called the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The TSA was established to make sure that no one carried weapons aboard an aircraft for terrorism related uses. When the TSA was established they realized that security was very weak, and could use new machines to help screen for weapons. The government funded the TSA to install new state of the art screeners, to help insure that nothing like 9/11 ever happens again. Thankfully, the TSA has prevented any further attacks, on American
Ever since that fateful moment, citizens in America are on their toes every day worrying about another attack happening. United States citizens have had to adapt and change in response to this fear of further terrorist assault on our country. One of the ways they have adapted is by changing their means of security concerning airline travel. Before the attacks on September 11th, Americans were under the assumption that an individual or group of individuals could not do such a devastating thing to humanity. Prior to 9/11, there was a lack of security in airports and on airplanes.
On September 11, 2001 terrorists crashed two American airline airplanes into Twin Towers, killing thousands of people. It was the worst terrorist attack in American history and it showed us that we are not protected by Atlantic and Pacific. It showed us that we could be attacked by anyone at anytime. It showed us that if we will be attacked again that we can only depend on each other and not on other nations to help us. The 9/11 changed people forever, some lost family members or friends, others lost their jobs even so called “American Dream.”
September 11, 2001 is known as the worst terrorist attack in United States history. On a clear Tuesday morning, there were four planes that were hijacked and flown into multiple buildings by a terrorist group named al Qaeda. This group, led by Osama bin Laden, killed nearly 3,000 people. Out of those 3,000 people more than 400 police and 343 firefighters were killed along with 10,000 people who were treated for severe injuries. Many lives were taken, and to this day, people still suffer from the attack. September 11th is the most influential event of the early twenty-first century because it made an increase in patriotism, it caused a rise in security throughout the nation, and it had a tremendous effect of thousands of lives.
The way Muslims have been treated after the 9/11 incident is very different than before. Before 9/11 there was certainly some discrimination towards Muslim Americans, but after the attacks happened, between the years 2000 and 2001, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported a 1,700 percent increase of hate crimes against Muslim Americans (Khan & Ecklund, 2012). “While trying to adapt to the outcome of 9/11, Muslim Americans dealt with an increase in negative stereotypes spoken by the common culture, and Muslim immigrants faced more negative attitudes than any other immigrant group” (Khan & Ecklund, 2012). Since the 9/11 attacks, people who dress with a substantial resemblance to Muslims worry about the upcoming hatred and unfriendliness from people of other ethnicities (Khan & Ecklund, 2012). While listening to the media, one can hear reports of negative stereotypes towards people who resemble the Muslim religion, which may be assumed that these people are violent. Negative attitudes that Muslim Americans experience may have detrimental effects on their success in America and their success of achieving the American Dream.
The attacks on the World Trade Center changed American culture. The attacks of 9/11 caused American people to bond together in a time of need. People all over the country flocked to churches to pray for safety during this dark time. Racism soon became a major factor. Any Muslim person, citizen or not, was viewed as a terrorist. American culture was greatly changed by the attacks 9/11.
Imagine the world slows and four planes crash. Then imagine us Canadians getting the news those four planes crashed, but these are not just four random crashes; one hits the pentagon and two destroy the twin towers and one just misses its target the pentagon. Now just imagine how this would change Canada. 9/11 changed Canada significantly because of certain measures taken. These measure were mostly changes in security like sending troops to Afghanistan, increase in border security, border fees, the creation of Command Canada and Anti-Terror laws. These were key to the safety and security of Canada and to prevent an absolute horror like 9/11 from repeating itself.
Could a democratic president and a republican president have the same choices but different consequences. Barack Obama is known for the killing of Osama bin laden. George W Busch is the known for when the 9/11 attacks happened in 2001. Both presidents had positive impacts on the United States during 9/11 and after 9/11.

On September 11th 2001 one of the worst events in American history went down. Two Boeing 767 planes hit and destroyed the Twin Towers in Manhattan, New York. Due to the destruction of the buildings it brought up many questions as to why the buildings fell and the overall construction and stability of the buildings. Over weeks of research it has been seem that the construction and lack of stability in the buildings caused the most deaths. Due to lack of fireproofing and locations of exits and safety issues the building collapsed allowing hundreds if not thousands of people to die. The buildings flaws in constructions caused the deaths of many people and is the main cause/reason of death in the twin towers.
The security procedures that are currently in place in the United States are very different from the security in 2001. Before the attack on September eleventh, security was not required to completely check each person for a weapon or destructive object. Now securities in airports have new
This act was a result of the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks, and from this act the Transportation Security Administration was formed.

Chuck Goodwin explains, “TSA, which stands for Transportation Security Administration, is an agency in the Department of Homeland Security and is responsible for screening all travelers and their luggage, as well as the screening of all air and rail transportation in the US.” Many travelers know of the them for their increased presence in all airports in the U.S and other major American airports worldwide. After the terrorist attack that took place in September 2001, President Bush and his advisors implemented The Patriot Act. Tracey DiLascio explains, “The Patriot Act is complex, but its major provisions act to improve coordination and communication between government intelligence agencies, removing unwieldy and unnecessary legal barriers between different federal offices and allowing vital investigations to proceed with greater ease and efficiency.” Their idea was to ensure that all intelligence agencies would communicate in a way that would keep America safe. “Steps to prevent events of the scale of those that took place at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, began to fall into place almost immediately...The first outline of a proposal for what would eventually become the USA Patriot Act was drafted just days after the attacks.” (DiLascio) Due to past terrorist attacks, the TSA has implemented security measures in the airports they occupy. “Following September 11, 2001, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created to strengthen the security of the nation’s transportation systems and ensure the freedom of movement for people and commerce.” (TSA website) These measures include full body scanners and pat downs.
BOOM!!! .... There went the second tower. On the day of September 11, 2001 the Twin Towers (world trade center) and the Pentagon were intentionally crashed into by a clan of terrorists. This was devastating to the United States of America.
September 11, 2001 was the day that changed the United States in many ways. On that
Tyler Norris American Literature Mrs. Miller September 21, 2017 9/11’s Flag Raising Heroes I woke up that morning, and it was just a normal day, I showered, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. I ate breakfast, then went into work. I got news from the FBI that said that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. When I got to the station, myself and the others were talking about what could have happened, and we thought that it might have just been an accident. People who were still inside were told to evacuate the building as quickly as possible. Another plane crashed into the South Tower, and we make our way inside to get as many people out of the building as we could. We knew then that we were under attack. It was tough to truly understand
