9/11
The nine eleven attacks affected many. Ranging from family, to friends, to strangers. The attacks changed the outlook of America for many Americans. It has not changed my life much but I can not say the same for others.
Although the attacks have not changed my family or, my life greatly, I think it has made a great impact on my generation. None of my friends ever showed hatred or anger towards Muslims, but that all changed after the attacks. I now know people talking about bombing Afghanistan, and killing Muslims. So if someone asked me if my generation has been changed due to the nine eleven attacks I would unreluctantly say yes.
I think America has changed in one immense way. Americans of all races are now showing patriotism more than before. With chins up and flags held high I think it is safe to say America has drastically changed.
As for myself I have not changed much. I go on living each day like the other, still proud to be an American. Sometimes I feel loathing or anger towards Muslims, but then I just remind myself that not all Muslims are bad. I used to think that all Muslims were bad, but weeks after the attacks I realized that this was terrorists doing this not Muslims. So in a way I guess I have changed.
Many were affected by the nine eleven attacks, some more than others. The attacks impacted everyone at least a little. Family friends, the whole generation was affected. We have to look past all the bombings and terrorism attacks, and when we do that I know we are all proud to be Americans.
