But since I’ve got accepted to my new job at the World Trade Center‚ I don’t think we’ll be having too many problems

Let me give you an example. 9/11 was considered one of the most impacted times in our American History. We panicked‚ everyone thought we were going to die and we had a feeling that people were going to have to go to war. We were doing the right thing...in the beginning. We went to Afghanistan to try to find Bin Laden and to no avail; we couldn’t find him so what we did? We‚ or the president I should say‚ decided to go to a place where it had nothing to do with the 9/11 incident and that was Iraq.

For my final project I decided to look at specific Infrastructures that developed as a result of 9/11 I broke my project into 4 different categories 1) Symbolic meaning behind the Twin Towers: Why were the Twin Towers specifically targeted? What did the World Trade Center symbolize to Islamic extremists? 2) Security response: What Infrastructures were immediately put in place after the attack?

1.What impact did the events of 9/11 have on your sense of security/vulnerability? The events of September 11th brought a harsh reality to light. I remember sitting home thinking this wasn’t real and when I finally did catch on and see this was really happening I was overcome with fear. I wasn’t sure if we as a nation were safe or what would happen next. I kept saying to myself “How they can say they are here to protect us and this happens?” 2.

Fahrenheit 9/11‚ is a documentary directed by Michael Moore. It all starts with the elections of the year 2000‚ with George W. Bush‚ Republican and Al Gore‚ Democrat. As they finished counting the votes all news channels gave Al Gore as winner‚ but friends and political allies of George W.

To What Extent were Muslims Affected by 9/11? On September 11‚ 2001‚ nineteen hijackers took control of four passenger jets departing from U.S. airports.

9/11 was a defining moment for terrorism in the 20th century. As a result‚ it seems that many of our government’s decisions regarding security are driven out of fear‚ which is exactly what terrorists want. Look at the evidence: airport security has intensified‚ deportations increased and governments are spying on their citizens. Other actions taken by western nations follow the Bush Doctrine of taking the fight to them and risk antagonizing themselves in the perspectives of these terrorist organizations
