    The attacks of September 11th, 2001 were one of the most devastating events that happened in U.S history. An Islamic terrorist organization, Al Qaeda, headed by a expelled Saudi nationalist Osama bin Laden, directed four airplanes to deliberately crash into New York City’s World Trade Center ,the Pentagon outside Washington, DC , and in rural Pennsylvania causing the death of over three thousand innocent civilians and injuring over six thousand. Osama Bin Laden stated that the attack was in response to America’s support of Israel and the U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia. 9/11 resulted in an almost immediate and continuous increase in security procedures both in the United States and worldwide wherever a large gathering of people occurred.

    Between the personal lives of citizens and the U.S government, the country changed its ways after the terrorist attack. Before the attack, America ranked terrorism low among government survey. At the time America was more worried about nuclear weapons and larger military power besides terrorist. Before 9/11 America wasn’t involved in as many wars, more so in the middle east. Matthew Green, a journalist for KQED news wrote, “We deported half the number of people we do today. Our surveillance state was a fraction of its current size.” After 9/11 the U.S went to war with Al qaeda and was involved with many other wars in the middle east as well. The increase in war only counts to the death toll caused by 9/11. After America’s safety in airports was violated, the country changed their security. Before 9/11 the airport let people come on with knives, knitting needles, and even box cutters. Before the realization of false security, private companies did the screening for security checks, not the government, according to the huffington post. America was an entirely different country before…

    and Pennsylvania. Al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center. A third plane hit the Pentagon and the fourth plane crashed in a field. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. The day this happened the United States was turned upside down. This terrorist attack not only affected the ones that was there, but the families, friends and people watching from home. The news played videos and live footage of what was happening. My school was playing the news and I remember seeing people jumping from the burning buildings, hearing them scream and seeing people rushing in to save the lives of the people trapped inside. The news also played phone calls that had been made to 911 from the victims that were trapped inside the burning buildings. Praying for them to send…

    Just recently, Trump signed a new executive order banning immigrants from six Muslim majority countries. In the new order, Iraq is not included because they agreed to share more information with the United States. In the new order, there is explicit language that allows green card holders re-entry into the United States. The new order does not indefinitely ban Syrian refugees “and called for prioritizing the admission of refugees who are religion minorities in their home countries” (CNN), prioritizing Christian over Muslim refugees. In an attempt to gain support for the new travel ban, it states that the FBI has reported “that approximately 300 … refugees are currently the subjects of counter-terrorism investigations” (CNN). The order lasts for 90 days, starting March 16. As of now, multiple states have joined together to challenge the order in court and one judge has already struck the ban down regarding a Syrian family trying to find refuge in Wisconsin. The order has not yet taken effect but already seems to be on a path towards…

    Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a widespread disorder that affects certain individuals psychologically, behaviorally, and emotionally following the experience of a traumatic event (Lee et al., 2005, p. 135). However, because of inconsistencies regarding the percentage of individuals who experience PTSD and the percentage of individuals who subsequently develop PTSD, researchers hypothesize that both biological and environmental factors contribute to the development of PTSD (Wolf et al. 2010, p. 328). In order gain a better understanding of this disorder and to discover contributing and predicative factors which contribute to the development of PTSD, this paper analyses the historical context and prevalence of PTSD, the biological and environmental contributing factors, and types of intervention used to mediate the effects of PTSD. In conclusion, the paper advocates the interrelated nature of environmental and biological influences on the development of PTSD and suggests future areas of research which may increase an interventionists ability to assist an individual suffering from PTSD.…
