9/11 Reflection Paper

The events that occurred during 9/11 have played a monumental role in today's America as normal. When planes crashed into the trade center, pentagon as well as the remote field, it finally coerced America open its eyes to the importance of the inhabitants and the Dharma (role) that we all play in this world. As said in an article, history is never concrete. From what we can tell, history always reflects the current things going on. After 9/11, historians started to think about changing the study of foreign policy; including things that they once thought as insignificant came into the light and began to be re-analyzed.
Ever since 9/11 our world has changed forever. TSA, which was once something of an idea never put into action, has now become the normal routine of today. There was once a time where you could bring most fluids to the airport through to the destination that you were going to. Now the option no longer exists; you’re only permitted to buy something from within the terminal after the checkpoint. Even though this was a big change from was it was originally it wasn’t the only change to everyday life.
Prior to 9/11 you truly had freedom of privacy. Now in today standards, you only have freedom of semi-privacy that the Patriot Act believes is
non-threatening. By them monitoring your texts, emails, history along with things you look for in search engines you never truly free to say anything or look up anything you want. Also what followed after this act were the random abductions of people. They take the “random,” person and ship them to another country to loophole their laws of not permitting torturing someone in this country. Instead they hire other countries to do their dirty work in torture them. One of the most significant changes was in history school life.
Usually the information conversed in history classes reflect the building blocks of what is occurring in our society and world of today. As the world changes around us, our picture frame in history changes as well. When 9/11 happened historians started to rethink what was vital for the young minds of learning to focus and be cognizant of in history. Things originally deemed meaningless became meaningful because of the material it contained pertaining to the particular topic that relates to the piece that is being refined by historians. Concern moved more away from our country, and more to the other events happening in other countries'
histories.
When some of the younger generation think about what happened in 9/11 (who hadn’t they believe that it is in the past and is no longer relevant however this is not the case. From the times when the planes crashed and thousands of people lost their lives, the world started to change. Actually the fact is their lives are still changing because of that day for better and for worse and they will never stop changing.
