How September 11 changed our World

The world will always keep on changing over the years that pass by. Even when we least expect it, it changes. It’s changing every second that goes by, every minute, every hour, everyday, every year, every generation our world has been changing. Now a change that has been brought up to us in a dramatically way, is how we look at safety now. In September 11, 2001, terrorists crashed two airplanes on the twin towers in New York. Then a few hours later there was another plane crash, but this time the plane hit the Pentagon at Washington DC. That’s something that we, Americans, will never forget in our life time.

Since then we have looked at public safety more then we use to. No matter wherever people go, they will get checked to see if they have any dangerous weapons on them. For example, going to an airport now days, people get checked from head to toe before boarding, especially there luggage and bags. Also going to theme parks people get checked before entering. Also this event introduced most of Americans what was terrorism. Terrorism never got our attention until finally one day we get attacked, and that’s when we realize that we’re not all safe and terrorism does exist. At that point we were all hurt inside and only felt like we wanted vengeance for this action. Americans wanted there revenge to show how strong we were. So we ended up in a war that was supposed to end terrorism.

Well this war has been going on for five years, about to be six years. The only thing that it has brought to us is soldiers dying everyday for a reason that doesn’t seem to be a good one. This War seems like it is never going to end and all we want now is our soldiers to come back home safely. September 11 has changed our world on how we look for safety, how we now know what terrorism is about, and how we change our opinions about this war that feels like it’s never going to end.
