Assignment 2: List Article

Introduction

On September 11, 2001, this remained one of the most memorable moments that Americans will never forget. There was a terror attack, which was the most devastating moment. Osama bin Laden was the person who was leading the organization and home together with the whole movement they were thinking that whatever they were doing was humane. This hatred for causing such harm to the Americans was from his religion. And this mission was part of what was called jihad, which meant a holy war against western cultures. Young people must educate on the reason as to why such an act cannot use as a peacekeeping mission. (Arielli, 2018)

September 11 Attacks

On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with that group, and there was the hijacking of four airplanes. There were a lot of suicidal attacks against some targeted groups in the USA. Some of the planes fly to New York City, and the other plane hit the pentagon outside Washington DC. The different plane crashed in Pennsylvania. It made a total of almost 3000 people to be killed during that terror attack. That triggered many initiatives to combat any terrorism that would arise in the future. It was from George Bush, who was the president then.

The economic impact of 9/11 in the United States

This incident was the second attack on the United States that caused heavy casualties after the Pearl Harbor incident. It is a sensational attack all over the world. The United States has also received support and sympathy from most countries. The episode mainly caused a substantial negative impact on the American economy. Many World Trade Center companies lost a lot of property, data, and essential information. The United States stock market was affected, especially with travel, insurance, and aviation stocks experiencing severe declines.

9/11’s impact on politics and international relations

Contrast that before and after 9/11, world politics and international relations have been significantly different. The US war against terrorist activities has attracted international attention. The importance of diplomatic issues in American politics has increased substantially. One of the most apparent measures taken by The United States to eradicate terrorism is to reform its immigration policy; also, changes have occurred within the United States, ethnic conflicts have become prominent, and the American domestic attitude towards Muslim ethnic groups has deteriorated. To combat terrorism, the United States has appropriately restricted the rights and freedoms of citizens.

After the 9/11 incident, the United States adjusted its strategy, and the top priority is to combat terrorism. The United States has repositioned its past allies. Simply put, it divides countries in the world into supporting counterterrorism or as enemies of the United States. For the whole world, the fight against terrorism is a long-term struggle. Various countries should strengthen international cooperation and join forces to combat terrorism.

Broader Lessons of the bin Laden

Since 9/11, many debates have emerged over Washington and the dysfunction of the Pakistan government. It is because many view Pakistan as not being an enemy or a friend. Those in debt from one side argue that Islamabad is doing so much to ensure that it is in rein to unwind intelligence service and military, other claims that the Pakistan government is complicit.

The effects of 9/11 to nowadays

The attack had long-term economic, health, and social impacts, and many of the effects of this fateful day continue to be felt even to date. The media covered the incident, since then, the traumas that transmitted into violence. Violence in today’s world is something that people must know.

There were new policies that came up and continued to use up to date. The attack made countries ready to handle such a case it happens, and nowadays, the military is on the alert, prepared to curb such an instance.

Conclusion

Everybody is aware that bin laden died however his ladenism is still alive. Some were inspired by bin laden. In 2004 it said that it could be a menace on Americans and their interests long after the cohorts of bin laden have been killed and captured. (Messerschmidt et al., 2018).

Comments: This appears to have some sort of recognizable structure, but it's not really structured as a List. One approach might be -- 5 ways the US is still feeling the impact of 9/11. It should, however, have some sort of clear news hook (the upcoming anniversary of 9/11 this year?) and it REALLY needs stronger (and current) sourcing throughout. Right now much of this reads like Opinion.
