After the tragic event that occured on September 11, 2001- what do you think will start happening? Possibly racism, strengthening and tightening security, and even start limiting some laws that were relaxed before? They were all introduced to society, which means it would always impact our lives in someway or another that we leave us reminiscing on this wretchedly terrible event. Although this event occurred more than a decade ago, the major lasting impact it had on our society is more than likely permanent. The impact being how the people, and their government see, react, and feel about our people, mainly starting with how the people saw our people: There was no specific way another person saw another person, as in time- all grew to be equivalent as one isn’t considered better or worse than the other. However after the event, racism towards races that had actively supported and participated in the event, were seen and treated as scum to humankind. As one example being America’s Muslim, making up 1% of America’s population, they were harassed and bullied as their race was one of the races that contributed to the event of 9/11 happening. Although this isn’t the first time this would happen, after the event, spikes of racist judgement and harassment boomed. Which brought the population to the segment of how …show more content…
Which led them to implementing more procedures in certain government properties, lands, or any place at all. Which wouldn’t be a problem until it affected the people, which actually did by tensing up laws that were previously relaxed and cause us more of a hassle to getting on an airplane, going places- or most things for that matter that was “official”. Which was where 9/11 caused the people to have a limit to what the people could’ve done before. This in turn also led to the event of how people felt about each other, or mainly the government as
Before the events of 9/11 the US had been attacked before and we were aware of possible threats. However, these threats, specifically those of Al-Qaeda were not taken seriously by American foreign policy makers or regular Americans alike, so on September 11, 2001 Americans were truly shocked by the scale of devastation and loss of life that occurred. The effect these attacks had on America was incredible. In the years that followed Americans became fearful and discriminatory of religious groups; the government created the Department of Homeland Security and enacted stricter search and seizure laws, and America’s foreign policy became defined by unilateral decision making and preemptive war.
9/11 was one of the most devastating events in American History. Four hijacked passenger airplanes killed almost three thousand people. 9/11 changed millions of lives forever. American Citizens didn’t feel safe. This attack was a wake-up call to American security. 9/11 forced the country to acknowledge its shortcomings and fix them, before any more harm could come upon the United States of America. 9/11, as all acts of terror do, promoted the growth of technology, in this case, security in the United States. 9/11 also brought about feelings of hatred to the country. The United States soon became known as one of the most intolerable nations on this planet. Lastly, 9/11 butchered the economy and forced it down a long road to recovery.
This event left a mark in our history since its objective was to generate hatred among ethnics. It is in our nature, the human nature, to take our own culture as a point of reference to judge others, this is a phenomenon called ethnocentrism and it is fuelled by prejudice and stereotyping. Throughout history, whenever a technologically advanced group encounters another race, they often think of them as wild, barbaric and inferior.... ... middle of paper ... ...

Introduction On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty- six in the morning.
The events of September 11, 2001 and the resulting security measures have affected border wait times, packing legislation, reporting requirements and many other export-related issues.
The attacks that occurred on 9/11 took place on September 11th, 2001. In this devastating event, four different attacks had taken place. Each of the attacks were carried out by terrorists. The group responsible for the attack was Al-Qaeda, a militant Islamist organization that is known to be global in present day. The group itself has a network consisting of a Sunni Muslim movement that aims to make global Jihad happen. Furthermore, a stateless, multinational army that is ready to move at any given time. This terrorist group focuses on attacking non-Sunni Muslims, those who are not Muslim, and individuals who the group deems to be kafir. Ever since the late 1980s, Al-Qaeda has been wreaking havoc all around the world. The leader of the group once being Osama bin Laden. Three planes were bound for New York City while another plane headed towards Washington, D.C. which was supposed to take out the U.S. Capitol. Two of the airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center. One plane hitting the North Tower and the other hitting the South Tower. The third plane had crashed into the Pentagon taking out the western side of the building. The last and final plane was focused solely on taking out the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. but failed due to passengers of the plane coming hijacking it from the hijackers. The passengers attempted to take out the hijackers but sadly failed, crashing it into a field in Pennsylvania. Throughout the content of this paper, we will be focusing on the role of media when it comes to 9/11; more specifically: how the media's coverage of 9/11 manipulated our feelings towards 9/11, how it affected Islamophobia in America, and the lasting effects of 9/11.
Sherman Alexie’s Flight Patterns, which discusses racial stereotypes, relates to the effects of 9/11 on American citizens, who tend to inappropriately judge Muslim and other cultures in the world today. Although 9/11 was a horrible day, it still should not be used to categorize and stereotype people. Stereotypes do nothing but harm to the people who receive it and to the people who dish it out.
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.
These changes did not happen over night. It took time, and even now is still being improved more and more each year. The structure of government has changed and still is being improved each year to, to protect and satisfy the common good of the population.
Living in a world where African Americans are judged because of their skin color, while whites are passed by with no other thought is confusing. What do people think when they see me? I am biracial, and because of this, I’ve faced the struggle of having to explain my races to those who can’t tell, or just make an incorrect assumption. It’s not a bad thing, having two races and two cultures, because I’ve been open to multiple traditions my entire life, but sometimes it’s hard not being considered a whole person because I’m not considered one race or the other. Being biracial has shaped my life experience and the way I see the world in countless ways.
As Americans, we used to worry little about war, having enough to eat, travel, freedom, and our most basic everyday activities. The tragic events of September 11, 2001 have forever changed the American way of life. We have become more concerned with our physical safety because of the endless terror attacks in America and other countries. Americans have certainly become more patriotic since September 11. Many of us watch the news to learn of any new terror attack or major offensive against cities in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, a variety of countries in Africa, Yemen and numerous other locations. The stock exchange hit bottom on September 21 in the 8100 range and is now back over 17,000 (Pellegrini). Oil prices have been dropping, which will help to boost our slowing economy. Unemployment rates will unfortunately probably remain the same. "Manpower, Inc. said Monday that its survey of United States companies' hiring intentions for the first three months of the year barely registered a pulse, but our commitment together to boost the nation's economy will ensure a bright future. America's future seems to be based on our new ideas formed since September 11, but yet we still carry on the problems of the past. There is still many Americans living in poverty. There is still illegal drugs that infest our nation with addiction and crime that encircles the drug trade. There are many children not getting a good education and many of whom who are fearful of violence at our schools. It is up to us as Americans to face these problems head on now more than ever before.
When the terrorist attacks occurred on 9/11 it did more than just affect the comfort level of American citizens. It had an all around impact on how this country will be run for years to come. The one economic impact that I will concentrate on is that the attacks, arguably, but directly effected the U.S. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and how the national budget will be handled from that day forward.
The first thing that I noticed government effects in my day is the milk that I drink. Milk is a very easily spoiled liquid that must be pasteurized and kept cool so that the consumer will receive a quality and safe product. The government sets standards for dairy farmers as to what kind of feed and hormones they can give their cattle so that the will produce healthy milk for public consumption. The government also inspects the pasteurization process and the distributing of the milk so that the consumer receives a fresh and safe product.
The racism had a big historical significance if we go back to the history. Also, I learning what diversity social justice mean and how it is work, it common guidelines and positionality understanding the concept of positionality is a specific dimension of understanding knowledge as socially constructed. In social justice practice, the concept of positionality is an assertion that all knowledge is partial knowledge and arises from a web of cultural values, beliefs, experiences, and social positions. The curiosity what I learn from during the class is how relationships are key to work with the people who serve and their families and communities, others professionals, and decision makers. Through a relationship an environment can be created that cultivates social and economic justice, respect for human rights. I personally think I didn’t have difficulty work with other peoples. During the workplace or future work many people are so racism because I am different from them and they don’t have along with me because they don’t like a black person or any other monitories groups. For example, if you apply a job and you have a qualification as white person they might hire the white person
