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 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 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.

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
The paper attempts to determine what the World Trade Center represented to the American economy and its social fabric, in order to explore how its destruction affected the national consciousness. The paper provides a review of the relevant literature about the background of the twin towers and illustrates how there may not have been a more important structure or trading center for the economy than the World Trade Center. The paper discusses how the twin towers later became a symbol of freedom, liberty, justice and unity, as the tragic event brought the country together.
Outline:
Review and Discussion
Background and Overview
Analysis of Impact of September 11, 2001 on American Consciousness
Conclusion.
From the Paper
"Before the impact of the destruction of the World Trade Center can be understood, it will be useful to know how and why it was created. Interestingly, and contrary to popular belief, the twin towers opened during different years. The original plan to build the World Trade Center was conceived in the early 1960s by the Downtown-Lower Manhattan Development Association. Two of the main people who pushed for the project to be approved were Chase Manhattan Bank chairman David Rockefeller and his brother, and then New York governor, Nelson Rockefeller. The north tower was constructed to completion and opened in December of 1970. The south tower on the other hand did not open until January 1972 (World Trade Center 2006:1-2)."

In this analysis, the central myths of human experience will be seen to revolve around the act of sacrifice, and the most profound sacrifice is one made for love.

Abstract
This paper addresses the subject of business ethics in the field of aviation, as well as emphasizes the effects of September 11 on the aviation industry. Through discussing the responsibilities each part of the aviation industry has toward air travel, this paper provides a clear analysis of why enhanced business ethics concerning safety and security are of utmost importance. The paper compares security features before September 11 with those after the tragedy, in an effort to determine how they have improved and what they are still lacking. In addition, it discusses the rights of aviation employees, shareholders and passengers to determine which security and business procedures are safe and which are invasive.
From the Paper
"Prior to Sept. 11, the Air Transport Association, a representative for major airlines, and the Regional Airline Association, a trade group for smaller carriers, published the main security guide for airlines. This Checkpoint Operations Guide was designed to implement Federal Aviation Administration security regulations.
However, prohibiting box cutters on airplanes was an industry requirement, not a government one. The FAA actually allowed airline passengers to carry blades less than four inches long before Sept. 11.
However, airlines often did not invest the time or money before Sept. 11 to check passengers completely. In addition, according to Rep. John Mica, chairman of the House Transportation subcommittee on aviation, the FAA did have strict guidelines for screening standards in place (Salant). This combination was a recipe for disaster."

Abstract
Our society needs and survives by information. The governments can rule and protect the flow of personal data when private sector is involved, but they cannot renounce to the decisive source of power of our society. The paper shows that the reduction of our right to be left alone was already an ongoing process. It discusses the forecast for a post-September 11 world, what the actual interaction between power, society and technology is, how privacy is threatened and what remains of our right to be left alone.
