The events discussed in our class affect our live because I think every action in the world changes the history that follows in some way. Say 9-11 didn't happen then everyone wouldn't be as concurred as we are today. I don't really think about these events and how they might have change who I am today.
The events that we discussed in our class affect our lives in a very significant way. For example when 9-11 happened people in the U.S were shocked and people had no idea how to react. As time has passed people are much more protective. This event changed the minds of people and how they think every day. I think that is how that particular event affected the way of life for people now in days.
I think that certain events can have very dramatic effects on American's lives. For example 9-11 really had an impact on how many Americans view other countries today. Many people were obviously shaken by this major event while others might be rejoicing. I think about 9-11 from time to time. My Grandfather lives in NYC and the second the news reached my house my dad was going crazy trying to contact him (to make sure he was okay) I realize how lucky i am for him to survive it (he was only a few blocks away from the twin towers) But if you can imagine what would've happened if the twin towers never fell. Perhaps an entire war wouldn't have happened and there would be more unity between certain countries.
I believe that the historical events discussed in class are vital to the shaping of our future. For example, 9-11 caused airports to become much more catious and Bush's choice to send soliers into Iraq made many more Americans become more involved in politics. So needless to say, many descisions made and major events that have happened significantly effect our future. Regretably I don't think about history too much unless asked by someone or encountering something to remind me of it.
The events we discussed in class affect our lives because about 3,000 people died in 9-11. Many people were affected because they could've had loved ones in the Twin Towers who unfortunately may have died. This affected our lives because if the terroist hit NY, then Connecticut was only one state away. People may have thought they were coming for us and they didn't know how to react to this other than to be with your family. On the same day people might know something about the pentagon, that had also got hit with a plane just about an hour after the plane hit the twin towers. Thankfully I never had a loved one in the twin towers or in the pentagon, but like Mariel said, " I don't think they would have effected who I am today." I just dont feel they had a big impact on my life, but others could argue that all day, but for my life it wasn't a life changer.
The events discussed in class affect our lives in many different ways. After 9/11, many US citizens started treating innocent Muslims differently, which was very wrong. Also, when African Americans were given the right to vote, African Americans started acting crazy, they were so happy that they were finally given their right. It was just the same with women, they exploded with happiness in 1919. These happenings have had a very significant effect on all types of people in America. Though I don't think about, it is still very important.
The events discussed in class affected my life because every time you would travel pre 9-11 you could have knives and other handheld weapons. Now in post 9-11 you have to go through many security precautions to get onto the plane. Also every time we fly we all have 9-11 somewhere in the back of our minds. So yes it does have a significant effect on society. Like I said it is always in the back of my mind so it is something I think about.
The events that we discussed in our first class affected my live because the major events like JFK being shot, affected every American life now and then in the past. These events have a significant affect on everyone because if JFK wasn't shot then the entire future would so much different from today, like the quote "You step on a butterfly, you change the future of the human race!" This is something that I think about everyday because I sometimes wonder if I did something different, how much would the future change.
I think the events discussed in class affect our lives dramatically because every event that went on in american history changed the future in some way. For example, once 9-11 happened all of the airports in America started to be much more careful of what went in and out of the airports. Also when the Japanese bombed pearl Harbor all of the soldiers that survived were traumatized for the rest of there lives. All in all, I think that every event that went on in American history is crucial to the future.
Many of the events we discussed in class, and some we didn't discuss affected our lives in many different ways.For instance in 2006 when Israel started a campaign against Lebanon after two of their servicemen were kidnapped. I could hear the bombs going off every night even those that were miles away. In July of 2006 my family and several hundred other Americans in Lebanon were evacuated via marine helicopter to the island of Cyprus. Many people were stuck there and had to sleep at the airport until they could find flights back home. For the next 4 months my entire family were in constant communication and thankfully they were all safe.
The events in our first class affect our lives because on 9-11-01 a lot of things happened. For instance, the Twin Towers were knocked down which is a very big thing in itself. Hundreds and hundreds of people commuted there daily and on that one day almost none of those people came back. These events have a significant effect because they affected everyone in the U.S. Not just the families that had a loved one killed; but everyone who either saw it happen or heard about it on the news. This effect made people think a little more about what actually happened and it made people also think about what Afghanistan was thinking themselves when they did this. I do not usually think about this because I was about 5 when this happened so i was thinking about toys and playgrounds. Also i don't think about it mostly because I didn't have a loved one killed on that day. If I had had a loved one killed on that day I probably would think differently on the subject.
The events discussed in our first class affected and still affect our lives today in a very important way. For example 9-11 impacted us in a way in which all Americans feel the pain whenever anyone mentions the Twin Towers or 9-11. It has made us scared of Afghanistan and whenever we see someone who is Muslim we go on high alert and are wary. Without knowing we are racially profiling the Muslims, even the innocent. Another event that affect me was when women were given the right to vote in 1919. I think about 9-11 sometimes, especially when it is that day, but not that often, and I almost never think about the year when women were given the right to vote.
The events that we discussed during class affected our lives in nearly every which way, whether we notice it or not. The events shaped our lives, and if they hadn't happened, the way us, as human beings would act would be completely opposite. To think, because of 9-11, New York, and the rest of the entire country has upped its security not only in places such as airports, but also in everyday life. People nowadays are much more careful about where they go and what they do. The impact of 9-11 and many other events in OUR history has been truly significant, both in good and bad ways. I don't honestly think about how these events affected and changed me, but if someone says something, other people probably can say in great depth how these events changed them as people.
I believe the event of the past alway effect the future, such as September 11, 2001. This was a dark day for the U.S. but, we fixed are mistakes and made a huge change in airport security so events like that will not repeat. This event also effected us by debating the construction of a Islamic religious center "mosque" located a few blocks from Ground Zero. If the terrorist attack of 9/11 had never happen these events would have never taken place today. I rarely think of these events that have affected my life.
The events discussed in our first class strongly affect our lives with out us knowing it. The reason we don’t really understand the concepts of war and other problems on our planet is because they are not right in front our faces for us to see what’s really happening. We only open our eyes to our own little space, when really they are so many other scary events taking place outside of our little bubble. For example, the Holocaust. When the Jewish people were locked up and put into camps, they had no idea what was going on. This is because Adolf Hitler convinced the Germans that Jewish people were bad and needed to be destroyed. The Nazis never fully understood what the Jews did, but by the powerful words of their leader, they decided to respect and fulfill his wishes. I feel that this event has significance because it took one man to change the beliefs of many countries forever. This huge incident in history has really taught me to think. If that were me, I would have no idea how to handle it.
The events discussed affect our lives by changing people around us and how we think. I think many of these events have very significant effects. For example 9/11 made every more aware of terrorists and the bad things that could happen. A lot of people died and that effect tons of people emotionally. I rarely think about events that happen to other people. I usually only think about those kinds of events when it strongly affects me. Also when we talk about them in history class or if it's on the news.
The events we discussed in class affected our lives dramatically. Take 9/11 for instance, once 9/11 occurred the government started to get more serious about security on planes and changed the way we flew. For example, you could walk on a plane with water bottles and sharp utensils before 9/11, but after it occurred you couldn’t walk on a plane with anything sharp or even an empty water bottle. After the government became more serious about security no one has hijacked a U.S. plane since. I think people under estimate how a event like 9/11 can change your every day life.
The events we talked about in class affected our lives in a very serious way. For example, there hadn't been a serious terrorist threat to America until 9/11. The situation in the Middle East was just something we read about or saw on TV. To have an attack on America made people experience what war was like for the first time. As a result of 9/11, people became more paranoid and scared. I don't think of this that much, but a lot of adults think about this all of the time. That is how an event can affect our lives.
I feel the historical events discussed in our class do affect our lives. For example, many people were killed on 9/11, some possibly related to some of us. Also airports had very cautious security after 9/11. These events do have a significant effect, such as on 9/11 on the people in the building, plane, and almost anyone in America who heard about it, for those people were very anxious because they only knew little. Also, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, many people decided to carry out his hope to explore the moon. I do think about historical event s sometimes, but not as much as I feel I should.
The events that we discussed in our class effected our life because everything in the world effects history in many ways. one of those ways was the Vietnamese war if it did not happen more lives would not have been lost. Also 9-11 if that didn't happen many people would not be dead and there would not be as many concerns about the middle east. I personally don't think about these events that much and how they would change me.
The events discussed in our first class affect our lives in how we think of things and what we do. For example, before 9/11, airplane security was not very strict. But after 9/11, it became very strict. 9/11 also affects the people who knew people who died in the attacks. They were horrified by this. I think about 9/11 quite often, especially now when there's more and more attempts to do similar things, some of which almost succeded.
Firstly, I would like to state that I am flabbergasted by the 9-11 theme on the posts below (except Julien & Olivia) "9-11 this, 9-11 that" why not something that affected you in a GOOD way?! I'm such a pessimistic anti-happy adolescent and I'm amazed at the fact that people don't even consider writing about a HAPPY time as opposed to thousands of people DYING... Anywho... Honestly, this question is not specific enough to be answered by a literal response due to a lack of a grasp of time pertaining to the question, but that's just me being a wise-ass. If I were to take Obama becoming president into consideration when looking at this question, I would firstly think of my own opinion from two years ago. Then I would eventually wander back to my opinion today. Two years ago, when Obama was elected president, I thought, "Oh, wow! An African American president!", and it would be something that I would think about frequently because it significantly affected me... For the time being. Nowadays if I think about Obama I think, "The president", and with much less frequency and without it affecting my day in the least. Two years ago it impacted me a lot, but now it seems like something I really don't have much of an opinion on. Now if you put aside what *I* think (which you probably already have due to the length of this comment) and shift your teenage (or adult if you're a teacher) attention span to someone else's point of view (preferably a conservative), then you would see that said person would obviously be affected differently. I will leave that last bit to your imagination because I can't quite explain my viewpoint without getting quite biased.
Now... To be a humongous hypocrite and move onto my next elongated subject: September... Eleven! Yaaaa-*gets boo'd down by imaginary audience*. September Eleven individually affected people from within. It caused panic and shock, (sound this next part out plz) "Oh muh gawdz we're under uhtack we gots tuh boost our secuwutih and stuuuuff!" for quite a long time, BUT eventually... *gasp* People calmed down! Individuals' emotions subsided, but did that soothe them as a nation? NO! The increase in security and safety was being shoved down peoples' throats by everyone around them which went in a seemingly endless loop; fading at a painfully slow pace until it all finally became a thing of the past. What I actually meant was that your surroundings will amplify or dampen the impact an event has on you because even if YOU don't care, other people do. People will suck your opinions out of you; causing you to constantly be reminded and refreshed on the subject at hand. The arousal turns from internal excitement, to external extraction, a different kind of impact on your life (a much longer, artificial, and sometimes meaningless impact on your life...). Basically what that meant was: Even if you don't care, other people do. (That doesn't make ANY sense... Yes, I DID say that twice, but am too lazy to fix it)
Okay... I honestly do not know what I meant by everything I just wrote... I am hoping that I don't wake up and see that I wrote some incredibly long rant that is not pertinent to the question whatsoeve- Oh... This IS an incredibly long rant that is not pertinent to the question whatsoever... I guess I'll just delete this entir- *Presses the "PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT" button*........................... *Blink* *Blink* What? No! No! Don't post! NOOOOOOOO!!! Curse you, tap-to-click!!!
The events we talked about in class really affected our lives because if it weren't for history we wouldn't even be here. If 9/11 never happened then maybe the united states would be run over by planes and bombing runs. I believe that 9/11 was very tragic but also made us more aware.
The events that we discussed in class affect us very greatly. If something didn't happen before like the stock market crash in 1929 (Great Depression) then right now we would be having the first stock market crash. If we were having the first stock market crash right now. If 9/11 didn't happen the security in airports wouldn't be the same. Also, if 9/11 never happened not as many people would have jobs because if 9/11 didn't happen we wouldn't be in war. If we weren't in war people wouldn't be making bullets, guns, planes, missiles, and trop transportation. A lot of the things that happened in history make me who I am today.
These events effect our lives because they don't happen every day. 9-11 changed lots of people's lives. I don't really think it effected my life. I think it effected people like my dad and other people who knew people in the twin towers. It also effected things like air port security.
I believe that the events discussed in class affected our lives because even the simplest events can completely change everything about l. I do sometimes think back and wonder what life would have been like and how different things would be for me those major events we talked about (911) hadn't happened.
The events that we talked about in class affect our everyday lives, as well as others. We all have a different opinion on these events, like you said most countries' headlines in newspapers about 9-11 was "Destruction" or "Tragedy", while in other countries' it was "Celebration". When we have views of historical events that contrast with other countries, it can create more wars, or more views to be talked about in the government. Whatever made up the charateristics of our ancestors, creates the charateristics of us.
I think the events that we discussed in class shape our lives today because they make us think about things differently. For example after 9/11 the government made Homeland Security to ensure the safety of America. Sometimes I think about 9/11 and wonder what the U.S. would be like if it didn't happen.
the events discussed in our first class were very touchy, mind boggling, and world changing topics. the bombing of the twin towers on 9/11/01 changed the way everyone thought about travel and the safety of the U.S. everything seemed very secure and airtight. United states land hasn't been war ground since world war II, and people had a feeling of security while living in the U.S. terror and insecurity slipped back into people's minds, and that distrust in the american government is still lodged in the back of people's minds today. when they think of going up into airspace, or going somewhere where they are strictly under the care of american security in a dangerous area, they don't have a blind sense of security anymore. people have been slapped with cold hard reality.
The events we discussed in class affect our lives because the change what happens in the future. For example 9-11, this made airports more cautious and aware. Another example was Obama being elected as president because he was the first african american president to be elected. These events have changed my live because if they did not happen then my parents and even I would not be as cautious as we are today. I don't think as much about history as I really should, unless someone ask's me a question about it.
The events discussed in class affect our lives because all of the events changed history. For example, if 9-11 never happened then nothing in America would be as secure. That could have changed all the events that led up to today.
The events discussed in our first class affect our lives because they changed the way people around us think and act. These events have a significant event because they make people more aware of what is going on around them. Take the Holocaust for example. On a personal level, because the Holocaust happened, my grandfather decided to move out of Germany and to the United States, where he met my grandmother. If it hadn't been for the Holocaust, I wouldn't have been born. Also, the Holocaust made people realize what happens when a single person has too much power and control of what other people say and do.
The events we discuss in class effect our lives by changing our attitude towards certain subjects and by making us think in different ways then we would have before an event. An example of one of these events is when Obama became the first African American president and when Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State. These events changed people's thinking by showing how far we could come in 120 years. America went from unjust slavery to becoming completely equal. This showed us that even though the amount of time seems like a lot, when America sets its mind to something, we can accomplish anything. Also, Hillary Clinton rising to become Secretary of State, was also a momentous occasion, even though it was not the first of its kind. Before, Hillary Clinton, first ladies were just wives, they were probably not even considered as intelligent. Then, Hillary Clinton appeared on the scene and showed people her mental toughness, her percerverance, and how she was just as smart as her husband. She showed everyone this by taking on one of the countries toughest issues... Health care. She role model of girls everywhere by showing that she could take on major issues that most presidents haven't been able to solve, and while she didn't solve the issue she showed how smart and tough she was. Later rising to the senate, and then secretary of state, Clinton has really shown America that girls can be just as knowledgeable as men. These two event, I am sure, have effected people in many different ways, but if one thing is for sure, it is that they have been amazing examples of how you can do anything you want to if you set your mind to it. that is how history can effect people.
I believe that the events that are discussed in our class impact us very much. For example, if some of the events in our history did not happen, the world would be very different. If 9/11 didn't happen, then airports would be MUCH more lenient on airport security. Since the unfortunate event of 9/11, airport security is very on top of everything going on. This is important because it ensures that something like 9/11 will surely never happen again. I would definatly say that 9/11 is something I think about. I think about it because so many innocent people died and it is very sad, and unfortunate to those families. I feel very sorry for the pain that they suffered.
I think that the events discussed in class have effected our lives greatly. For example, after 9-11, airport security improved greatly which is a positive thing. Also, many people lost friends or loved ones in 9-11 and they will always remember exactly where they were when it happened. As we proved in class, even if you didn't experience any loss that day, you will still remember what you were doing when you first heard about the disaster. It has also changed the way many people in American view people from foreign countries.
I feel the events we discussed affect our lives. For instance, after 9-11 some people are paranoid about terrorist attacks. Also, after 9-11 their are much more security at airports. Many people couldn't even believed that 9-11 happened. Even though some people think that they aren't affected by 9-11 everybody is either that they are more protective, lost a friend or family, not trusting the airlines anymore ect.
The events discussed in class affected us all very much. It was a rude awakening that showed how precious life is and that even in our protected society, the unimaginable can happen at any moment. To most people in the world, I think 9-11 had a significant effect, some reactions overjoyed, some very upset and some didn't care at all. I rarely ever think of 9-11 because i was too young at the time to really understand what was going on.

These events do have a significant effect, such as on 9/11 on the people in the building, plane, and almost anyone in America who heard about it, for those people were very anxious because they only knew little. Also, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, many people decided to carry out his hope to explore the moon. I do think about historical event s sometimes, but not as much as I feel I should.
The events that we discussed in our class effected our life because everything in the world effects history in many ways. one of those ways was the Vietnamese war if it did not happen more lives would not have been lost. Also 9-11 if that didn't happen many people would not be dead and there would not be as many concerns about the middle east. I personally don't think about these events that much and how they would change me.
The events discussed in our first class affect our lives in how we think of things and what we do. For example, before 9/11, airplane security was not very strict. But after 9/11, it became very strict. 9/11 also affects the people who knew people who died in the attacks. They were horrified by this. I think about 9/11 quite often, especially now when there's more and more attempts to do similar things, some of which almost succeded.
Firstly, I would like to state that I am flabbergasted by the 9-11 theme on the posts below (except Julien & Olivia) "9-11 this, 9-11 that" why not something that affected you in a GOOD way?! I'm such a pessimistic anti-happy adolescent and I'm amazed at the fact that people don't even consider writing about a HAPPY time as opposed to thousands of people DYING... Anywho...
Honestly, this question is not specific enough to be answered by a literal response due to a lack of a grasp of time pertaining to the question, but that's just me being a wise-ass. If I were to take Obama becoming president into consideration when looking at this question, I would firstly think of my own opinion from two years ago. Then I would eventually wander back to my opinion today. Two years ago, when Obama was elected president, I thought, "Oh, wow! An African American president!", and it would be something that I would think about frequently because it significantly affected me... For the time being. Nowadays if I think about Obama I think, "The president", and with much less frequency and without it affecting my day in the least. Two years ago it impacted me a lot, but now it seems like something I really don't have much of an opinion on. Now if you put aside what *I* think (which you probably already have due to the length of this comment) and shift your teenage (or adult if you're a teacher) attention span to someone else's point of view (preferably a conservative), then you would see that said person would obviously be affected differently. I will leave that last bit to your imagination because I can't quite explain my viewpoint without getting quite biased.
Now... To be a humongous hypocrite and move onto my next elongated subject: September... Eleven! Yaaaa-*gets boo'd down by imaginary audience*.
September Eleven individually affected people from within. It caused panic and shock, (sound this next part out plz) "Oh muh gawdz we're under uhtack we gots tuh boost our secuwutih and stuuuuff!" for quite a long time, BUT eventually... *gasp* People calmed down! Individuals' emotions subsided, but did that soothe them as a nation? NO! The increase in security and safety was being shoved down peoples' throats by everyone around them which went in a seemingly endless loop; fading at a painfully slow pace until it all finally became a thing of the past. What I actually meant was that your surroundings will amplify or dampen the impact an event has on you because even if YOU don't care, other people do. People will suck your opinions out of you; causing you to constantly be reminded and refreshed on the subject at hand. The arousal turns from internal excitement, to external extraction, a different kind of impact on your life (a much longer, artificial, and sometimes meaningless impact on your life...). Basically what that meant was: Even if you don't care, other people do. (That doesn't make ANY sense... Yes, I DID say that twice, but am too lazy to fix it)
Okay... I honestly do not know what I meant by everything I just wrote... I am hoping that I don't wake up and see that I wrote some incredibly long rant that is not pertinent to the question whatsoeve- Oh... This IS an incredibly long rant that is not pertinent to the question whatsoever... I guess I'll just delete this entir- *Presses the "PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT" button*........................... *Blink* *Blink* What? No! No! Don't post! NOOOOOOOO!!! Curse you, tap-to-click!!!
The events we talked about in class really affected our lives because if it weren't for history we wouldn't even be here. If 9/11 never happened then maybe the united states would be run over by planes and bombing runs. I believe that 9/11 was very tragic but also made us more aware.

The events that we discussed in class affect us very greatly. If something didn't happen before like the stock market crash in 1929 (Great Depression) then right now we would be having the first stock market crash. If we were having the first stock market crash right now. If 9/11 didn't happen the security in airports wouldn't be the same. Also, if 9/11 never happened not as many people would have jobs because if 9/11 didn't happen we wouldn't be in war. If we weren't in war people wouldn't be making bullets, guns, planes, missiles, and trop transportation. A lot of the things that happened in history make me who I am today.
These events effect our lives because they don't happen every day. 9-11 changed lots of people's lives. I don't really think it effected my life. I think it effected people like my dad and other people who knew people in the twin towers. It also effected things like air port security.
I believe that the events discussed in class affected our lives because even the simplest events can completely change everything about l. I do sometimes think back and wonder what life would have been like and how different things would be for me those major events we talked about (911) hadn't happened.
The events that we talked about in class affect our everyday lives, as well as others. We all have a different opinion on these events, like you said most countries' headlines in newspapers about 9-11 was "Destruction" or "Tragedy", while in other countries' it was "Celebration". When we have views of historical events that contrast with other countries, it can create more wars, or more views to be talked about in the government. Whatever made up the charateristics of our ancestors, creates the charateristics of us.
I think the events that we discussed in class shape our lives today because they make us think about things differently. For example after 9/11 the government made Homeland Security to ensure the safety of America. Sometimes I think about 9/11 and wonder what the U.S. would be like if it didn't happen.
the events discussed in our first class were very touchy, mind boggling, and world changing topics. the bombing of the twin towers on 9/11/01 changed the way everyone thought about travel and the safety of the U.S. everything seemed very secure and airtight. United states land hasn't been war ground since world war II, and people had a feeling of security while living in the U.S. terror and insecurity slipped back into people's minds, and that distrust in the american government is still lodged in the back of people's minds today. when they think of going up into airspace, or going somewhere where they are strictly under the care of american security in a dangerous area, they don't have a blind sense of security anymore. people have been slapped with cold hard reality.
The events we discussed in class affect our lives because the change what happens in the future. For example 9-11, this made airports more cautious and aware. Another example was Obama being elected as president because he was the first african american president to be elected. These events have changed my live because if they did not happen then my parents and even I would not be as cautious as we are today. I don't think as much about history as I really should, unless someone ask's me a question about it.
The events discussed in class affect our lives because all of the events changed history. For example, if 9-11 never happened then nothing in America would be as secure. That could have changed all the events that led up to today.
The events discussed in our first class affect our lives because they changed the way people around us think and act. These events have a significant event because they make people more aware of what is going on around them. Take the Holocaust for example. On a personal level, because the Holocaust happened, my grandfather decided to move out of Germany and to the United States, where he met my grandmother. If it hadn't been for the Holocaust, I wouldn't have been born. Also, the Holocaust made people realize what happens when a single person has too much power and control of what other people say and do.
The events we discuss in class effect our lives by changing our attitude towards certain subjects and by making us think in different ways then we would have before an event. An example of one of these events is when Obama became the first African American president and when Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State. These events changed people's thinking by showing how far we could come in 120 years. America went from unjust slavery to becoming completely equal. This showed us that even though the amount of time seems like a lot, when America sets its mind to something, we can accomplish anything. Also, Hillary Clinton rising to become Secretary of State, was also a momentous occasion, even though it was not the first of its kind. Before, Hillary Clinton, first ladies were just wives, they were probably not even considered as intelligent. Then, Hillary Clinton appeared on the scene and showed people her mental toughness, her percerverance, and how she was just as smart as her husband. She showed everyone this by taking on one of the countries toughest issues... Health care. She role model of girls everywhere by showing that she could take on major issues that most presidents haven't been able to solve, and while she didn't solve the issue she showed how smart and tough she was. Later rising to the senate, and then secretary of state, Clinton has really shown America that girls can be just as knowledgeable as men. These two event, I am sure, have effected people in many different ways, but if one thing is for sure, it is that they have been amazing examples of how you can do anything you want to if you set your mind to it. that is how history can effect people.
I believe that the events that are discussed in our class impact us very much. For example, if some of the events in our history did not happen, the world would be very different. If 9/11 didn't happen, then airports would be MUCH more lenient on airport security. Since the unfortunate event of 9/11, airport security is very on top of everything going on. This is important because it ensures that something like 9/11 will surely never happen again. I would definatly say that 9/11 is something I think about. I think about it because so many innocent people died and it is very sad, and unfortunate to those families. I feel very sorry for the pain that they suffered.
I think that the events discussed in class have effected our lives greatly. For example, after 9-11, airport security improved greatly which is a positive thing. Also, many people lost friends or loved ones in 9-11 and they will always remember exactly where they were when it happened. As we proved in class, even if you didn't experience any loss that day, you will still remember what you were doing when you first heard about the disaster. It has also changed the way many people in American view people from foreign countries.
I feel the events we discussed affect our lives. For instance, after 9-11 some people are paranoid about terrorist attacks. Also, after 9-11 their are much more security at airports. Many people couldn't even believed that 9-11 happened. Even though some people think that they aren't affected by 9-11 everybody is either that they are more protective, lost a friend or family, not trusting the airlines anymore ect.
The events discussed in class affected us all very much. It was a rude awakening that showed how precious life is and that even in our protected society, the unimaginable can happen at any moment. To most people in the world, I think 9-11 had a significant effect, some reactions overjoyed, some very upset and some didn't care at all. I rarely ever think of 9-11 because i was too young at the time to really understand what was going on.
