  1. Yes, 9/11 has effected me in many different ways. From the way I goto school to how we as people look at people from Arab decent and how our personal privacy is almost non existent anymore. We as a country are constantly being monitored by our own goverment for our own safety. We have given up our rights for our peace of mind. Due to a few extremists now many people from middle eastern desent are looked at in a bio-est light in our society. All these different factors affect me and change our society everyday.

  2. I agree with you Alex, the events of 9/11 have not only effected our country, it has also effected me personally. My birthday is on September 11th and so every year around my birthday it's hard to celebrate because it is such a delicate time for the country. Not only that though, the events have also made me a little paranoid about flying. It showed me the dangers of flying and now I'll always be a little cautious when it comes to riding on planes. In terms of effecting the country, security at airports has increased tenfold, and there are a lot more restrictions on things that you can bring on a plane. This has been done to ensure that a catastrophe like the attacks on the twin towers will never happen again.

  3. I agree with all of the things that Alex said, although i think that the way that it has affected me the most is the way we travel. especially when we travel on air planes the process of getting onto the airplane is now full of security checks that have all been increased since the events on 9/11.

  4. Yes 9/11 has effected me and the society I live in. If this terrible incident never occured it wouldn't be such a hassle getting in and out of airports when traveling. Also, it has changed the view that our society holds on people from middle eastern descent.
