London Attacks
Overview
July 7, 2005 would be a day that London would never forget. During the hustle of the morning rush hour traffic, people’s lives would be taken, destroyed or left with memories that would last forever. Around 8:50 a.m. was an explosion on a train that traveled between Algate East and Liverpool Street stations. After half an hour of silence passed a second blast was reported at West Edgware Road. This time the train was between Kings Cross and Russell square. Just seven minutes later, the third blast occurred, this time on a train at Edgware Road Station. Emergency responses acted quickly and sent train passengers away from the stations using the public bussing system. Ten minutes after the third explosion, London would burst for a fourth and final time that day. The final explosion was the deadliest and occurred on a double decker public bus. Many people on that bus were train passengers that were evacuated from the train stations due to the blasts.
The attacks took place on the first day of the G8 summit in Scotland. Prime Minister Tony Blair was notified of the attacks and made the following press release:
“Our determination to defend our values and ways of life is greater than their desire to create death and destruction and impose extremism on the world. Whatever they do, it is our determination that they shall not succeed.”
These attacks on July 7th would be the worst violence against London since World War II.
Within the first three hours of the investigation British Intelligence discovered a two hundred word statement on the internet. This statement was posted on a popular site of Islamic militants. The statement declared that the blasts were in retaliation for Britain’s involvement with Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the past few weeks law enforcement was able to identify four bombers; Hasib Mir Hussain 18 years old, Shehzhad Tanweer 22 years old, Mohammas Sidique Khan 30 old and Germaine Lindsay 19 years old. Each bomber has been pin pointed to what attack they individually carried out in London. These suspects came from some 1,800 cameras in London’s train stations. Currently the UK’s National Terrorist Finance Investigative Unit (NTFIU) is in charge of following a money trail, hoping to identify those who were responsible for sending the terrorist on their mission.
Much happened after July 20th as well. London is being scruti...

...at their family members were involved in violence. Another family called in a missing persons report when their 19- year old son did not come home from London after allegedly visiting with some friends. This is an indicator that these men lived two separate lives, one which was a down to earth family person, and the other who was involved in a anti-government, violence terrorist cell.
All four men are between the ages of 19 and 30. This shows the young age of these perpetrators. We have to entertain the idea of early childhood association with the terrorist or at best possibly being brain washed over a short period of time. All men were Brit-born, therefore they are now known as homegrown terrorist.
The possibility of being associated with Al-Qaeda is very likely. At this point authorities have not released the connection of Al-Qaeda, if there is any. Similar attacks have taken place in the place and suicide bombers are very much the Al-Qaeda style. Regardless of who these men were, we now need to focus on where they came from, where their beliefs and ideology came from. When we can identify their creator/leader, many doors will become unlocked and we will be able to move on.
"America's present need is not heroics but healing, not nostrums but normalcy, not revolution but restoration .not submergence in internationality but sustainment in triumphant nationality."
"Among the people of your culture, which want to destroy the world?" "Which want to destroy it? As far as I know, no one specifically wants to destroy the world." "And yet you do destroy it, each of you. Each of you contributes daily to the destruction of the world." (Quinn, 1995:25)
The two victims said that they were not involved in terrorist groups, but during the investigation they had visited some Al- Qaeda websites to plan out the bombing. Al- Qaeda is an Islamist group that was found by Osama bin Laden in the 1980s. Al- Qaeda is the same group that did the terroist attacks on September 11, 2001. Al- Qaeda means "the base". In 2010, the Al- Qaeda's magazine had a step by step to make a pressure cooker bomb. The brothers were planning to do some of the same acts in New York City.
Not all American people were a fan of the Constitution. There were many flaws with the proposed Constitution that turned people off of the document. George Clinton was one of the people who disliked the Constitution immensely. Clinton wrote a paper, under a pseudonym, entitled “An Attack on the Proposed Federal Constitution”, in which he further explained his beliefs. Clinton, dubbed an “antifederalist”, believed the country would fail with one government controlling all of the power. James Madison took his paper seriously enough to write his own in response to Clinton. George Clinton mainly focused on the suggested republican government and quoting philosophers to make his paper sound more legitimate,
As a defining aspect of what it means to be human, culture is a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies. It is also used to denote the complex networks of practices and accumulated knowledge and ideas that are transmitted through social interaction and exist in specific human groups or cultures.
Cultural Anthropology is a term that is in everyday lives and topics. When one thinks of anthropology they think of the study of old remnants commonly referred to as archaeology. This, however, is not the only form of anthropology. There are four types of anthropology and they are archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. However, Cultural anthropologists are every where and study people of all walks of life. One can find a topic and find some type of study that an anthropologist has conducted on the matter. The following are five articles that explain how anthropologists are every where.

February 26, 1993, the day that terrorists made the biggest attack on American soil to that point. It was early afternoon on a Friday, 12:18 pm to be exact, a car bomb ripped through the guts of the now infamous North World Trade Center twin tower. It happened very quickly, and without warning, normal people were simply going about their daily business, when all of a sudden, the building shook, the power went out, and smoke began to fill all 110 floors of the towers. Many wondered what had happened, had a plane struck the building, was it an earthquake? D, none of the above, some crazed maniac had decided to kill 5 people and injure many more just to get some point across.
Anthropology is the study of humans through the ages. It aims to understand different cultures and practices that have existed from the origins of mankind as well. It differs from sociology in that it takes into account humans and cultures that no longer exist.
“What if free people could live secure in the knowledge that their security didn’t depend upon the threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter an enemy attack?”
In my twelve years of teaching experience, one thing that most of my colleagues have struggled with at some point in their career has been classroom management. Classroom management is one many keys to instructional success. Unfortunately, many have left the teaching field due to lack of knowledge of classroom management best practices.
Culture and society are a huge part of anthropology, but everyone has their own definition of what culture and society are. From an anthropological perspective
...dents have the ability to learn to their fullest potential. When the environment is not controlled it is not a healthy place for kids to learn, it seems more like a day care while parents are at work. Another is having a relationship outside the classroom with students. Being involved in their life both academically and personally increases the trust and respect from a student toward the teacher. Most students go through stages as they become older. If there are misbehaved students it is important to remember that it is common to find students that are rebels. It is important to work with the students instead of just giving them to someone else to deal with. They are just looking for some attention and they want people to notice them and like them. If a teacher follows some of the thing mentioned earlier, they it will create a healthy, happy and vigorous classroom.
There are several different models of classroom management, but there appears to be no collective agreement as to which one is the best. Because every student is different, students’ behavior should be addressed according to their specific need. Disruptive behaviors tend to be a result of a few causes. These causes tend to be either because the student is seeking attention trying to avoid failure, are angry, want to gain control of a situation, have too much unused energy, are feeling bored, or are uninformed. In studying the different methods that have been researched, I have settled on two that I would like to focus this paper, Discipline with dignity and Discipline through same side win-win strategies.
Classroom management is a necessary component to every classroom. It includes creating a set of rules and clear expectations that all students follow. This helps unify the classroom for both the teacher and students allowing for a smooth, effective, and educational environment. When the students are aware of what is expected, they are motivated in order to attain the goals dispensed by the teacher. Some students are naturally motivated and want nothing more than to surpass goals for the sake of triumph and pleasing the teacher. Other students need extrinsic motivation in order for them to become engaged in
