It made the American people more unified and in a community, it made them more patriotic and proud to be an american. "Right after it happened, everyone got really proud to be american, we felt like it was really against America... It also helped us realize how vulnerable we are to these things because it was the first time a terrorist attack occurred on american soil"

# data[].attributes.body
9/11 turned the people's attention and dragged them into a different type of war that is about the different ideas and beliefs. It made people more unsure about certain things. It also made people less trust of some people.

# data[].attributes.body
9/11 united the American public and shifted the perspective of the world to focus similar attacks rather than more ideological matters; these attacks began to redefine true patriotism and what it means to be an American.

# data[].attributes.body
The terroists were successful in some of their goals because the believe that people had about America being safe about security came to an end. They became less trusting about America. People became afraid which is what the terroists wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
It made the American people less trusting like with airport security and that stuff but overall that made them stronger.

9/11 in a way strengthened our country. In times of grief and sorrow like 9/11, our country remained unified. Americans have been increasingly aware and protective with our country from terrorists. Our country has increased safety regulations, and civilians are on edge and fearful of terrorists.

1. 9/11 brought us closer together in a time when the election was pulling America apart, just like how it is now. It did make us more skeptical of all Muslims instead of a select few, which is wrong. 9/11 made us stronger in the face of fear.

Although the terrorist attack on 9/11 was aimed to make the American people feel insecure and remove themselves from the the affairs in the Middle East, it actually united the people against a common cause and made them believe even more in the righteousness of their actions (becoming involved in Afghanistan to overthrow Alkaid and the Talaban).

"Changed air travel forever, people tend to look around them and understand what is happening, particularly when they go into large cities and crowds and big events.”

The attack achieved some of the goals because the people were not secure and they did not feel safe. It also showed the Americans that if they were going to kill some of the Arab states people then they would not think twice about killing the United States people. They saw it for an eye for a eye but the amount of people were not the same it was like and eye for a finger. It also changed how air travel was forever. They stepped up security a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
The 9/11 attacks made Americans more aware of their global stance. Fear was a main outcome of the attacks but it also brought Americans together. As a result of the attacks, Americans have created stronger safety regulations and have been more aware of their surroundings

# data[].attributes.body
All Americans certainly became more aware of surroundings. In short term affect, fear was created in U.S. and around the world. The American government reacted immediately increasing the safety measure which brought back security and removed fear for the people. In conclusion, the 9/11 terrorist attack was successfully in short-term but the reactions of the American government soon destroyed their long-term goal

# data[].attributes.body
"At first, it unified Americans and our allies against a clear terrorist threat, and because the threat was supported by Taliban in Afghanistan, it unified America and allies to eliminate it. However, as time went on, we realized that trying to create societies in the middle east in countries not suited for a democratic centralized government is nearly impossible...Americans believe in democratic ideals but more importantly, at least now, self-interested isolationist preservation."

"This event changed the course of history of America. It showed the world that although the country had a superpower, it could be brought to her knees by a few deranged individuals. The attack had some positive impacts such as New Yorkers became more patient, understanding and less brash. It united the entire country which helped heal all those who were suffering due to this terrible tragedy."

1. "Since then there has always been continual background level of concern in how world is changing. Helped isolate America, create stronger division in different parts of world, set up America as a hated symbol in some parts more so than before. Negative effect on “melting pot” way of America, more about us and them, not all."

"9/11’s impact on America had different effects depending on Americans Beliefs. Right wing Americans created a extremely islamophobic mindset which continues today..." She continued to talk about how left wing Americans had more of the insecure, afraid of future attacks belief"

"I think that 9/11 attacks definitely allowed Americans to unite with each other. If we look at it from that angle, it certainly did help. However, since these terrorists were Muslims there has been a huge prejudice and stigma with any Muslims. I think it's sad that people cannot recognize that everyone is american, but they judge rather on one’s personal beliefs."

Some of them. They succeeded in hurting people and temporarily harming the stock market. They also successfully damaged the the financial center of the USA by destroying two large buildings with thousands of workers as well as shutting down the city for some time. They also in a way brought glory to their extremist version of Islam, however they also failed by uniting the nation for one of the first times in recent history. “There were more American flags on the back of cars then I had ever seen before” everyone had one and she had never really seen them before. They untied both parties and for the only time she can remember both parties were supporting the president. They also failed by bringing a war upon themselves by attacking us, as well as putting Muslims in a bad light in America.

911 was aimed to send a message of power to America from Al-qaeda.

The immediate effect was shock, however after realisation set in it braught America together, unified under a common goal to clean up and rebuild America. Americans worked together to rebuild and clean up the wreckage. Howerveramericans were now more fearful. Many didn't want to fly.

It creates fear to certain Americans, and this makes them feel unsecured to live in US. By doing so, al-Qaeda tried to show that America can also be "defeated", which changed people's point of view on conflicts in Middle East.

"It was a huge blow to America’s ego and a wake up call to defend our beliefs and borders. It has made us question immigration and who comes to our country, we fear people/religions we don’t understand and therefore become untrusting and unwelcoming."

It made lot some of people lose some of their American spirit. For decades before this, America had been the big, seemingly untouchable power, but when this happened, it made the American people feel weaker

# data[].attributes.body
The Americans did change attitude about safety and vigilance. They created Homeland security and the Patriot Act. It traumatized the Americans because it happened on US soil. People do not feel safe anymore and they accept that the government limit their civil liberties also it brought together US population under a sense of patriotism and unity . Finally people have a greater respect for public servants and military forces.

After 9/11, there grew a tendency to profile people. There was also a rise to Islamaphobia and unwanted scrutiny towards Muslims.

*paraphrased from direct talk with parent*
It ultimately cultivated/activated a deep rooted xenophobia that still exists in our society. On a more positive note, it showed the rest of the world that we are united as a group of people and that the American identity lies in parallel with the majority of the rest of the world. It probably also helped reduce the stereotype of America being an imperialistic war-hungry hegemon.

“ I think it had a negative impact on American society, I feel like Americans are afraid, people started saying “be safe” and they never said that before”.

"After 9/11, Americans hated Muslims even more than before the attacks."

"they were looking to make people afraid and hurt american security and patriotism. And I think they were successful in making us feel us less safe which is clearly shown in airplane security and the islamophobia still present in our culture."

It caused a huge loss of life as well as a big economical loss. They wanted to make the American people fear their group as well as make them feel uneasy because of their lack of security. It also forced the US to increase their security and islamaphobia spread throughout the country.

It made Americans more cautious and realize that they could be attacked on their own soil. It also brought great grief to the entire country.

“Briefly yeah…but not in the long term. They did make America aware of our security. The government takes airport security much more seriously than they did before. They take security more serriously overall."

"The impact is that now we know not to take things for granted, and that there may have to be a war to be fought at some point. About America’s identity, all of a sudden, it was as vulnerable as any other country in the world against terrorists."

"It reopened a focus on a person's ethnic background how it plays into their American identity. It reopened the wound of Americans being labeled as "other", regardless of their citizenship. People began to be suspicious of people and items, however everyone in America really came together over the fact that tragedy struck on diverse Americans. Everyone who was attacked was either born American or was American by choice. It was a shared pained experience.

They took away lots of freedom from the American people. They changed how America thinks about safety. More security is now put into place and people now become more aware and alert of what's happening.

"The 9/11 events served as a wake-up call for America.  The surprise element of 9/11 attack reminded us of Pearl Harbor attack. American society has changed from an open welcoming beacon of opportunity to the world to a paranoid and controlling nation that now values building a wall and ban entry of certain ethnicities into the country."

"The goals of the terrorist attack was to put US on notice that the terrorist mean business and to instill fear into US."
