How Did Barack Obama Change The World
Being the first to do something is something that is very remarkable, and being amazing at what it is that you do is amazing. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Barack Obama’s dad didn’t like him and eventually his mother as well. After his dad left the island and headed to Massachusetts to go to Harvard, he divorced and left Barack and his mother alone. After becoming an honor student in his schools, he went to multiple colleges and got his degree in political science. After that, he changed the world. Barack Obama has made so many positive impacts in the world including becoming the first ‘colored’ president of the United States: 44th President overall and he created many laws and regulations that not just helped the people, country, allies, but …show more content…
After, he entered the political field as a lawyer and after some years he joined the Senate. About 5 years later he announced that he is running for president of the United States. He won the election of 2008 against the Republican nominee John McCain during his first term, becoming the 44th President and first ‘colored’ President of the United States. As he became the first president who is ‘colored’, many people were inspired by his braveness and also his caring personality. He proved that America wasn’t a ‘white’ country and made the ‘colored’ citizens feel more welcome than ever. According to biography.com; “When Obama took office, he inherited a global economic recession, two ongoing foreign wars and the lowest-ever international favorability rating for the United States. He campaigned on an ambitious agenda of financial reform, alternative energy and reinventing education and health care—all while bringing down the national debt.” He was able to stabilize the economy and maintain peace with foreign nations and make relations a lot better than before. A part of his mission was also to clean the environment from pollution that our country has created. According to Mnn.com in summary; “Barack Obama has established the largest marine reserve in the world, signed a bipartisan ban on microbeads, rejected the Keystone XL oil pipeline, expanded the California Coastal …show more content…
He commanded the attack of 09/11/2001, which was a group of hijacked planes that crashed into the twin towers, pentagon, and into the lawn at the White House. According to Telegraph.co.uk, “...”’The guy is dead. That is good," Mr Bush said of bin Laden. "Osama's death is a great victory in the war on terror. He was held up as a leader”... Shortly after the news of bin Laden's death, Mr Bush issued a statement saying the mission marked a “victory for America.” The United States was officially ‘safe’ from possible attacks that could’ve been commanded by bin Laden himself. The United States learned a very hard lesson in 2001 in regards to thousands of lives lost due to poor national defense. According to ObamaWhiteHouse.com, as Obama said; “As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –- and never will be -– at war with Islam. I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity…” The raid into bin Laden’s compound didn’t just give America a peace of mind, but also the world. Osama either killed or hurt people against his rule, and

    On 9/11 many things changed, and our society was the main thing. Many of our everyday lives were changed because of one event that affected millions. Osama bin Laden did not just change the US with new types of security, he unified our country and made us realize how important staying together as a country was. His objective was to destroy the United States spiritually, physically and economically , but it had the opposite effect in some of those categories. He definitely underestimated the American spirit. Economically, we still haven’t recovered completely, no one has, but physically and spiritually we, as a country, came back stronger than ever, with renewed patriotism. One bad effect from the 9/11 attacks were stereotyping. Many people have stereotyped all muslims as terrorist and this is one of the most long lasting effects. Many muslims have to go through everyday life with being called cruel names like terrorist, when they have nothing to with the attacks on September 11th. The real people to blame are the ones involved with Al-Qaida and their leader, Osama bin Laden. Not only was there a bad effect on the US, but he presented his own religion to uneducated people, as religion filled with hate, when this is not the case. In conclusion, Osama bin Laden, in the end, didn’t only contribute something bad to our society, but he contributed something bad to his own society…

    On September 11, 2001, nineteen men from an Islamic terrorist group known as Al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes, and flown them into the World Trade Center in New York City, one into the Pentagon and the other crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A total of 2,977 perished as a result of the attack. (“September 11, 2001: Background and Timeline of the Attacks”) President George Bush addressed the nation, “America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world and no one will keep that light from shining”. (“Text of Bush’s Address”) My interpretation of his speech is that we are a nation of hope and prosperity, and there are those who do not share in those same beliefs. As a nation, we need to continue to stand strong and be vigilant to those who threaten us. Following the aftermath of the attack, United States sent their military forces into Iraq and in pursuit of the man whom orchestrated the attack. Al-Qaeda Leader Bin Landen was responsible for the September 11th attacks and was killed in his compound in Pakistan on May 2,…
