Abstract
Since the terrorist attacks on America, the activities of the American Red Cross have expanded extensively. This paper discusses how the voluntary organization had in the past proven to be an efficient disaster relief organization; however, the writer asserts that never have their skills being so essential and tested since the events of September 11th, particularly in New York City. The paper then looks at the activities of the Red Cross in its advocacy of those in danger of negative backlash, notably Arabs and Muslims.
From the Paper
"The ?International Red Cross? which has branches in over 175 countries of the world, works to provide extensive refugee relief activities to the victims of drought, war and ethnic conflicts all over the world. It was through the commitment of Clara Barton who organized the ?American Red Cross? with its headquarters in Washington, which received the support of millions of Americans who donated their time, talent, and financial resources to this voluntary organization. And since 1943, the month of March has been considered to be ?Red Cross Month? to recognize the lifesaving efforts of the organization."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of terrorism. Specifically, it examines the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11) that destroyed the World Trade Center and caused thousands of deaths. The paper attempts to determine what we have learned from the attacks and what has been done since 9/11 to prevent future attacks.
From the Paper
"Few Americans will dispute that the nation, and even the world, has changed since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Two researchers into terrorism wrote, "Since September 11, America has been on a war footing, with armed soldiers standing guard at our nation's airports, enhanced security at nuclear power plants and other vulnerable locations, and military jets flying combat air patrols in order to intercept and shoot down hijacked commercial aircraft" (Klinger & Grossman, 2002). Before the terrorist attacks many Americans felt that something as devastating as the 9/11 attacks could never occur here. They were wrong, and the attacks proved the country is indeed vulnerable and open to attack from afar. The country learned the hard way that there is much more that can be done to prevent terrorist attacks, and that sometimes personal freedom has to come second to national security. As the aftermath of the attacks overtook the country, American learned that many industries, such as the airline industry, were also vulnerable to lost business because of the attacks, and thousands of people lost their jobs as industries cut back to cut costs."

Abstract
A close look at the September 11th terrorist attacks and the multifaceted implications for United States. The author looks at foreign policy, security arrangements and the military and discusses the end of U.S. cultural isolationism. Finally the author looks at the move to multi-lateralism and the changing role of the States in the rest of the world.
From the Paper
"In his book, The Coming Anarchy, Robert Kaplan chillingly pointed to stateless terrorists being better equipped and to an America bathed in ?entertainment culture? heading inexorably towards ?something unpleasant?. The terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 have certainly sparked much debate over the possible implications for world order, security and possible conflict. The irony may be that notwithstanding the pain and anguish of the victims and their friends and families, the United States may emerge with better foreign policy and a clearer world military role."

From the Paper
"A team at Carnegie Mellon University conducted a study immediately following September 11 to assess the public reaction and to assess the role that the media played in this reaction (Thomas, 2002). The sample consisted of 1,000 American men, women, and teens aged 13-88. This was a groundbreaking study that assessed the role that the media played in influencing public opinion and support for the war. This study revealed four conclusions. They are that people who experience anger are more optimistic about the future than are those who experience fear. They are less likely to take precautionary actions and more likely to favor aggressive policy responses. Men were more likely to experience fear than women."

Abstract
This paper examines three of the most prominent terrorist groups today. The paper provides background information on Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Abu Nidal and describes the similarities and differences between these groups in an effort to explain their possible motivations.
From the Paper
"Since September 11th, terrorism is one of the most significant topics for Americans today. September 11th shattered American's view that they were somehow protected within the confines of their country borders. Although attacks had been made on Americans, in the past, these were still somehow disjointed from the American experience, and as such, did not have the powerful effect that the strikes on America, on that fateful Fall day, did."

Abstract
The paper discusses how a "dirty bomb" or a ready made chemical or radiological device would be the most effective way for a terrorist to attack the United States. The paper explains that these radiographic explosive devices would not only destroy relatively large areas of a city or residential area, but would disperse radiation and create psychological havoc and panic. The paper assesses the most likely targets for an attack and reveals that a terrorist could possibly target a less secure location that maximizes the damage to the infrastructure of a country. The paper explains that this could be an important energy or communications system that would affect many and strike a blow at the psychological morale of the country.

The Attack: Targets and Implementation
From the Paper
"The danger of a terrorist attack on American soil has been extensively reported and commented on in the media, especially after the events of 9/11. Many experts are of the opinion that a terrorist attack is "inevitable" at some stage in the future. This view is supported by the recent proliferation of nuclear weapons, especially after the fall of Communist Russia and there have been many reports of the sales of arms and even nuclear components on the black market.
"However, commentators also point out that the construction and implementation of a fully - fledged nuclear device is still extremely difficult and the importation of components into a country like the Unites States with its stringent security regulation after 9/11, is a difficult task for the terrorists."

Abstract
This paper introduces the topic, provides a review and discussion of the events that preceded and followed the actual terrorism event in 1993. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"People in the United States have enjoyed the isolation which the Atlantic and Pacific oceans provide them. Even during the height of World War II, the closest that the Axis powers came to bringing the war to American shores were some ineffective rice-paper balloon bombs, carried by the Trade Winds, which did little or no actual damage. Ever since the Civil War, wars have been fought somewhere else, on someone else's homeland. That is why Americans were so shocked when the World Trade Center became the target of terrorist attacks in 1993. What was not known at the time, however, was the actual intent of the terrorists to bring down both of the primary World Trade Center buildings in a cloud of cyanide gas which was designed to kill thousands of people. The fact that "only" six people died has nevertheless caused many Americans to firmly link Middle Easterners with terrorism, and the effects of the 1993 bombing continue to influence U.S. foreign policy today.

Sociology and the September 11th Attacks, 2002.

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief statement describing the September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S. The paper then looks into distinct views that the media has put forth regarding the similar historic as well as tragic event. Furthermore, the paper applies the social theory of suicide by one of the most eminent social theorists, Emile Durkheim to the terrorist attacks of September 11. Hence sociological as well as theoretical analysis of the event under consideration provide a deeper insight into the much-neglected perspective on the issue.
From the Paper
"With skyscrapers falling apart, media could not help but make headlines as well as big bucks. However, it did a great job in presenting various viewpoints thereby uncovering the possible motives behind such ruthless act of violence. Many believed and shared the similar notion with the media saying that all of it happened as a result of the rat race for the ?viral power? (Arthur & Kroker). However, most of the people be it experts, scholars, social scientists as well as politicians considered these attacks a form of religious fanaticism. Some of the experts from the medical line of profession and many psychologists as well as psychiatrists thought the reason why some of the people could go to such a length to accomplish their vested interested and get motivated so much so as to take away their own precious lives can be the psychological illnesses as well as the obsessive commitment to one?s religion."

To Attack or Not to Attack?, 2002.
A critical analysis of the U. S. attack against Iraq.
1,305 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses and answers the question whether the US attack on Iraq is justifiable or not, and by supporting this stance with details, facts and information regarding issue. It presents arguments such as the freeing the Iraqi people of a dictator and providing them with freedom of rule. It also looks at the real threat of weapons of mass destruction and questions whether the U.S. has the right to launch such an attack.
From the Paper
"It is important that to understand the political issue of war against Iraq, a discussion of the US government?s reasons for planning the attack against Iraq is needed. In the research that the author of this paper had conducted, there are three (3) main reasons why the US is motivated to declare war against Iraq. The first aim of the US government for planning the attack on Iraq is that it wants to prevent, and eradicate the threat that Iraq poses on the safety and security of the US nation. Secondly, the threat of Iraq?s use of deadly weapons against the US (and possibly, on other nations) also poses another serious and more deadly threat, possibly threatening the security and stability of all nations in the world: the success of Iraq?s attack against US (if Iraq will be successful in destroying the freedom, stability, and security of the nation) will lead to the eventual spread of Saddam Hussein?s (leader-dictator of Iraq) power not only over Iraq, but also possibly in the whole of the Middle Eastern region. Thus, if US will not attack Iraq first, there is the possibility that Iraq will continuously terrorize US through its terrorist activities, and this is a truly dangerous possibility for people who value freedom and equality. Lastly, and perhaps the reason that most concerns the Iraqis, the US attack on Iraq will eventually result to a free Iraq, with no Saddam Hussein to dictate, abuse, and corrupt its people, ending years of helplessness and suffering of the civilians, the Iraqis, from Hussein?s ?iron fist? dictatorship, and constant abuse and violence that he subjects to all people whop fail to subordinate himself to Hussein. The following texts will discuss and support in detail the following reasons, answering the question of the necessity for the US to stage an attack against Iraq."

Abstract
This dissertation provides an examination of the anthrax mailings to determine how the U.S. Postal Service responded and what organizational structures were in place to facilitate or impede that response. The role and importance of the U.S. Postal Service is discussed and its history and evolution is described. The examination is presented over the course of six chapters and concludes that there were significant failures on the part of the postal service to provide adequate protections for its workers while the investigation was being conducted, largely as a result of an organizational culture that placed productivity above safety considerations.
Introduction
The History and Development of the U.S. Postal Service
Modern Postal Bureaucracy
Anthrax in the Mail: Attack and Response
Values in Conflict
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have resulted in vastly increased scrutiny of many aspects of government functioning, as major wars and national cataclysms have done in the past. In this new environment, it is important to understand what conflicting bureaucratic values may represent the opposing perspectives of providing open access to the postal system versus protecting the system and its workers from terrorist attacks in the future? "Few aspects, perhaps," Wise says, "have received more attention than the question of whether government in general, and the federal government in particular, has the right organizational structure to meet the requirements for homeland security." Immediately following the attacks, the president made a determination that there was a glaring need for improvements in security organization; in response, he established the Office of Homeland Security by executive order on October 8, 2001, less than one month following the terrorist attacks."

Abstract
The paper highlights the entwined American reactions to the September 11 attacks and the Pearl Harbor attacks. The paper illustrates the similarities in which the over-prevailing backgrounds of each event created reactions to the devastating measures that promptly gave escalation to the wars that have been fought. The paper also looks at the integration of the memory of Pearl Harbor in American reactions to September 11 attacks. Subsequently, the paper reflects on the similarities in repercussions of the attacks on the Pearl Harbor, as well as the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11.

The Aftermath of Pearl Harbor and September 11 Attack
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor and the attacks by Al Qaeda on September 11 had many similarities. Some of these similarities have been presented in this paper. However, several more situations of contrasts are likely amid the attack on Pearl Harbor and the attack on September 11. In the Second World War, at Pearl Harbor, the American military under President Roosevelt had blocked approximately 8 percent of the Japanese force from either fulfilling its vicious objectives or retreating back to Japan. During the attacks on the September 11, airplane travelers prevented 25 percent of the Al Qaeda force from fulfilling its evil designs, avoiding an American icon from stern harm or complete obliteration. American intelligence agencies gave out a warning for war prior to the attack on the Pearl Harbor in the Second World War, and the American military had been able to counter the opponent. However, on September 11, intelligence agencies did report of likely terrorization attempts by Al Qaeda terrorist but these reports had not been converted into a forceful caution under President Bush, and the American military had been unsuccessful in getting in the way of the suicidal operation of Al Qaeda."

9/11 and International Relations, 2005.
Examines the September 11th terrorist attacks and later events through analyzing international relations on four different levels.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The terrorist attacks of 9/11 and subsequent attacks can be understood through a careful consideration of the four levels of analysis of international relations. The paper shows that the individual level of analysis allows us to better understand George W. Bush's reactions, while the domestic level of analysis provides an explanation for the country's lack of preparedness for 9/11. At the interstate level, the interaction of the United States with Islamic states and Israel can be linked to the terrorist actions. At a global level, gaps in wealth and technology can be seen to contribute to the terrorist attacks. The paper shows that, overall, the global level provides the most useful understanding of the attacks, although a simultaneous analysis of all four levels reveals a more complete understanding.
From the Paper
"Overall, it is this global level of analysis that seems to best facilitate understanding of the crisis. The global view provides some answers to the reactions of shock and disbelief that segments of the world could hate America so much that they would commit the acts of 9-11. At the same, time, the global level of analysis fails to give a really adequate understanding of America's response to the terrorist actions that is provided in the domestic view, or an understanding of the actions of individual actors revealed in an individual analysis."
