Week 10 Discussion Top of Form

Part 1: Post a Response

Between 200 and2016, the US experienced remarkable changes internationally and domestically. By any measure, the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001, was a game changer. With that a long, still-ongoing “war on terror” began that meant military engagements overseas and increased domestic security measures. In 2008, remarkably, the US elected its first African American president, Barack Obama. He was elected to a second term in 2012.

Choose and discuss one of the following two topics related to American history under Presidents Bush and Obama:

1. Discuss the Sept. 11 (2001) attack and its impact.

. Describe what stands out to you (perhaps from memory) from the events of Sept. 11, 2001

. Give two examples of events or changes since 9/11 that you attribute to that terrorist attack. In your view, what should we learn from this attack and our experiences trying to deal with it.

. Identify the source(s) where you read about these free trade issues of that time.

· Discuss president Obama’s election and presidency. (Considering our many explorations of race relations and Civil Rights in our history, there is much that can be said of President Obama’s election and presidency, and it is still perhaps too early to evaluate fully.)

. Identify two specific examples that you think were the most important developments of Obama's presidency.

. Explain why you chose those two examples.

. Identify the source(s) where you read about these changes of the early 21st Century.

Part 2: Respond to a Peer (BELOW)

Read a post by one of your peers and respond, making sure to extend the conversation by asking questions, offering rich ideas, or sharing personal connections.

Good afternoon Professor Stansbury and fellow classmates,

I chose topic 1:Discuss Sept 11(2001) attack and its impact

Describe what stands out to you (perhaps from memory) from the events of Sept. 11, 2001

What stands out to me is how the US government knew about this attack 6 months in advance, why didn't they inform the American public and or done something about it before it got to what it got to;maybe so innocent people wouldn't have lost their lives all because the government reneged on a deal that they had made with the leader Bin Laden.

Give two examples of events or changes since 9/11 that you attribute to that terrorist attack. In your view, what should we learn from this attack and our experiences trying to deal with it.

Oil prices and Changes to air travel and safety....I think that America needs to take security just a little more serious and let it be efficient in a way that nobody gets frustrated with the wait times and that more security needs to be taken just a little bit more serious at bus and train stations. So that we don't have yet another 9/11 attack and the lives of American citizens needs to be taken a little more serious.
