Abstract
The paper discusses how the essays, "September 11, 2001: A Wake Up More Than a Nightmare" and "Condemnation Without Absolutes" by Rex Murphy and Stanley Fish respectively, are both discussions on the events surrounding the attacks on the United States on September 11th 2001. The paper explains that to accurately categorize both the discussions, they could be described as pleas against over simplification of the events. The paper examines how both authors tackle slightly different dynamics of difficulties with oversimplification.

Abstract
This paper describes the author's immediate thoughts and actions following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the United States. The paper details the author's immediate emotional response to the attack as well as the long-lasting emotional impact and describes how the author and her family responded in the days immediately following the attack.
From the Paper
"As a small child, I remember hearing my grandparents talk about their feelings surrounding Pearl Harbor. Even decades after that fateful attack, there was still a sense of anger and hurt in their voices whenever the topic arose. I also remember thinking that they were entirely too sensitive. How could one event that did not even directly affect them have such a profound effect on their lives, I wondered. Furthermore, when I watched the events of last September unfold before my eyes even as they happened, I continued to wonder the same thing on my own behalf. However, now that nearly seven months have passed since the attack, I am beginning to realize that the effect is direct and I will likely be discussing it with my own grandchildren someday."

Abstract
This paper explains that, on September 11, 2001, the United States found out that it was vulnerable to massive terrorist attacks from outside its borders, which raised awareness about the dangers of terrorism unlike previous incidents, performed against the United States from outside our country's borders. The author points out that to understand this situation people must study how terrorism emerged as a viable option for those who use it and why the U.S. was not adequately aware of the risk. The paper stresses that people must understand that terrorism works--the colonialists used terrorism against the British during the Revolutionary War, Israel used it in 1947 and terrorism drove U.S.S.R. out of Afghanistan; therefore, America will have to think like terrorists rather than in the ways that have worked in more traditional wars if the U.S. seeks to avoid future attacks.
From the Paper
"This was not the first time we were caught by surprise when we might have noted what was coming. Many people have drawn parallels to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 as having similar characteristics. In both cases, we had warning signs that were misinterpreted or dismissed, and in both cases, an organized group managed to inflict terrible damage with no warning. In both cases we can point to failures of intelligence, with the understanding that it is clearly easier to see these signs after an attack than before it happens."

Abstract
This paper examines the far-reaching consequences of the September 11,2001 terrorist attack on America. The paper looks at the feelings of shock and disbelief shared by all Americans as well as how the intensity of the emotional and psychological reactions of Americans who lived in New York City or Washington D.C. tended to be more intense than the rest of the country because many of those living in New York or Washington D.C. knew some of the victims, had directly experienced the ferocity of the terrorist attacks, and were caught in the midst of the carnage unleashed.

Abstract
This paper reports that situations of political conflict should draw our eye very quickly to the mass media, to the chance of increased influence over how events are depicted in the interest of persuasion, and the 'propaganda war' that is forever part of political conflict in our time. The author points out that Canadians pride themselves on enjoying relatively free media in comparison with the United States or Britain. The paper states that this 'freedom' or access to more accurate reportage seems to be quite debatable at the present time.

S. of Sept. 11, 2001, jolted Americans with the realization that young men filled with hatred of the U. S. could, with limited training and guidance, become focused instruments of mass terror, willing and able to kill thousands of Americans."

Abstract
This paper questions why America was attacked on 9/11 and, in order to understand why America will continue to be a target of terrorism, the paper examines the broader issue of Israeli/Arab enmity in the Middle East. More specifically, the paper discusses the violence between Israelis and Muslims that has triggered the Arab/Israeli wars and how this affects the United States and their relationship to terrorism both on their shores and abroad.
From the Paper
"Neo-conservatives like Rumsfeld (2002) have argued that ultimately, the ideology of mindless hatred that motivates Muslims to blow up innocent people on buses and trains and fly airliners into buildings full of innocent people in the name of "justice" must be repeatedly denounced by every Western government and must be relentlessly discredited through whatever methods necessary. They believe that people who take part in or support such atrocities, or contend that they are legitimate and that their perpetrators are heroic defenders of Islam do not deserve to have their "grievances" addressed by the civilized world."
"American neo-conservatives insist that the military occupation of Iraq must continue indefinitely and that Iran and Syria must be attacked for being state sponsors of terrorism, but this approach has had nightmare consequences. The occupation of Iraq is a fiasco, the Middle East has become dangerously destabilized, and there has been an alarming increase in terrorism worldwide."

Abstract
This paper looks at the role that the media plays in portraying and delivering news with special reference to the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Towers. The author argues that the way the media depicts news creates a situation in which reality becomes indistinguishable from film making. The media's use of techniques such as slow motion, repetition, development of characters and formation of anticipation in the audience in delivering news, is so similar to the way films are made, that to discern between boundaries of the media and real life becomes impossible.
From the Paper
"The Spectacle of horror, which took place on September 11th 2001, has left daunting unforgettable memories in the minds of all on lookers. The events of that day influenced so many individuals because of the vast reach of the media in our day-to-day lives. What happened on September 11th 2001 leaves many believing that real life has become indistinguishable from the movies. The increase in media control has taken off with in the cultural industry over the last 30 years. Televisions became mainstreamed into the family home in the 1970?s with the invention of colour TV. These days more then 11 million Canadians have cable television. The mega trend of corporate capitalism in the post-industrial world has 7.5 million households online. Hollywood and American cinema account for the 2nd largest product surplus in North America. Ironically before the September 11th 2001 tragedies top grossing industry was the Airline Industry. Both the film and airline industries have seen drastic declines in profits since September 11th 2001."

Abstract
This paper discusses threats to civil liberties in the United States following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The paper explains that these threats fall into three broad categories: secrecy, erosion of checks and balances, and circumventing long-standing personal privacy protections. The paper discusses the reasons for these changes and how they are affecting American citizens.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Secrecy
Erosion of Basic Checks and Balances
Privacy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The last major threat to civil liberties, since the advent of September 11th, is the reduction of privacy in America. Privacy is one of the most valued of civil liberties for Americans. When asked if they'd be willing to allow the monitoring of telephone and e-mail conversations as a means of increasing national security against terrorism, only 34 percent of respondents were willing to give up this civil liberty (Davis & Silver). The ACLU clearly points out that the blurring of the lines between traditional separation of criminal investigation and intelligence gathering has seriously eroded the public's right to privacy. This is a backwards leap from the progress the country has made over the last four to five decades, when the FBI used programs such as COINTELPRO to harass civil rights leaders and anti-war groups ("Threats to Civil Liberties")."
