In many ways it made America seem vulnerable and no longer safe for their own people. Specially by the way the terrorists used planes from their own country to harm their people” ]]> 2017-09-08 12:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/185826706 https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/185826794 9/11 caused ]]> 2017-09-08 12:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/185826794 Bruce https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/185826795 It made Americans stronger and helped them unite against a common threat.

There are two eras in terms of perception of safety, and not only safety in airports: before and after 9/11. It was a turning point."
Americans looked closer at who they let into the country and how easy it was for them to get in, changing from a culture of welcoming others to a culture of distrust towards others]]> 2018-09-11 12:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279805709 https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279805754 It made people realize that the country is
successful which makes it susceptible. It has forced our country to partner with a lot more countries and work with them to try, help, detect, and prevent more tragedies. The people who committed this terror shed a negative light over many people who have nothing to do with acts of terror. It is unfortunate that the actions of a few people can negatively impact the lives of so many people.

On one hand they have been associated with funding terror attacks and but they had been providing the United States with energy sources such as fuel."]]> 2018-09-11 12:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279805852 Miguel https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279805954 It created fear of the middle east and the people that live there, which is sometimes justified but was made larger because of the attack. It created a larger focus on security and immigration because the U.S. also no longer thought that they were invincible and isolated from the problems in the rest of the world.  "Until that point Americans had never seen our borders compromised. I believe this lead to certain immigration proposals that have been brought up in the decades after the attack."]]> 2018-09-11 12:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279805954 https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279806021 In some ways Al Qaeda was successful in their attacks, but in many ways they were not. They had struck fear into America, without a doubt. Airports increased their security and people became more aware of the world around them. Striking fear was one of the main motives of Al Qaeda, but they also wanted to show their power. In this sense they were unsuccessful because America fought back. Osama bin Laden, leader of the 9/11 attack was killed by U.S. forces and their power was no more. ]]> 2018-09-11 12:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279806021 https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279806211 Americans became slightly more racist and untrusting of other people within and outside of America.]]> 2018-09-11 12:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279806211 https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279806215 I am more cautious now and take more precautions when I travel or to where I travel  and worry about my friends and relatives in larger cities such as New York City.

the United States is seen as a powerful nation on a global scale. We have been successful in become a highly developed nation and attaining a strong economy so we have become a target. In the eyes of these terrorists if they take down the most powerful nation they are seen become superior and therefore they will gain followers and support. ]]> 2018-09-11 12:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279806231 Right after the attacks, everybody was united.

The country also came together and helped one another so there was love as a result but also hate for the groups that influenced the attack or planned it, along for some negative impacts on a religion and people who followed Islam, who hadn't had a connection to any terrorist groups.]]> 2018-09-11 12:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279806282 https://padlet.com/kmanning7/qvxk3t86xtiy/wish/279806300 Made people more aware of muslim culture and religion and the issues of different cultures and problems across the world.
